okay, I have an automatic 1989 Mustang GT Convertible. So far my performance parts are a fenderwell Cold air induction, flowmasters, BBK equal length headers, BBK h-pipe without cats, no smog, no air silencer, and my TPS at .99.
What I was wondering is what should be my next performance parts. I don't want gears or underdrive pulleys. I also dont really have enough money for heads yet. I was thinkin maybe a bigger MAF and throttle body, but I am not sure what sizes. Could you please help me with some suggestions.

a tb wont really do you any good w/o an aftermarket intake manifold or if you have yours port/polished. if you got an aftermarket manifold, get that, a larger tb, and either a 73 or 76mm maf. thatd help you out quite a bit........and just out of curiosity....why dont you want gears ?? best, most noticeable bolt-on youll ever do !!!

all mods help when you have stock heads and intake just dont
go to big. i think a 65mm tb and a 73mm maf would work
for your setup.

i agree but get a 76mm MAF since you are going to do heads in the future and ehy dont you want gears
