I have a 92 5.0 H.O. bird... as of right now it is completely stock.My budget is1 grand for everything, I do everything myself so labor is free.I'm looking for a little performance out of it these are the things I have considered.

$65 cold air intake (+10hp)
$60 flowmaster 40 (+7hp)
$185 4.10 gear (hehe)
$50 u/d pulleys (+4)
$55 18" trans cooler (ahh)
$85 rear disc swap
$260 eibach sportline springs(2" drop)

that leaves me $240 for recommendations andI still need shocks.Looking forcoil overs but i don't even know where to start or what to look for. I have at any given time 6-8 passengers in my car, I'd estimate an addition 250 lbs up front and 900 lbs in the rear. I need some shocks that would be able to accommodate the weight with minimal squat. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

8 people in a t-bird is illegal in most states

have you looked at ebay for used parts, or the classifieds for used parts, theres a lot of good stuff out there for pretty cheap. As for shocks, what the hell are you doing with 6-8 people in your car? Besides the point you'll need leaf springs to handle 900 lbs... your looking for a real stiff spring, not shocks, go with some Monroe shocks and FRPP springs. jmo

matt - its only illegal if you get caught, plus its not adults I have a 2 neices and a nephew under the age of 6 they tend to ride with me at times so although it may seem like alot of people its really not

7up - yeah i was considering them prices from ebayand summit as for the monroeshocks do you think they will give me a nice firm ride? you wouldn't happen to know how much of a drop I can expect with the FRPP springs would you? With the eibachs I'll get about a 2.25" drop

So your not riding with adults in the car.. but instead overloading it with children... your a piece of ****!

i agree man you should have a mini van or something. everytime you put those kids in that car you put them in danger

decipha

by no means arethey in danger the backseat of a bird is much bigger than that of a stang... if i felt they were in danger i wouldn't allow them to ride with me, its not very often just occasionally, perhaps they miss the bus and i have to ride them to school. Its not an everyday thing and I would never harm any of them.

bttt... what do you guys recommend??

are the above mentioned mods worthwile?

wait a little while, if u save ur money u can get all the motor work done at the same time, and then u dont have to keep goin back and back, but i think for now a good header and exhaust setup would be good, along with a new intake and then save up

I say go for it,itll be fun and a great payoff considering the money, 3.73's might be better for gears so you still have streetability
