You would need gaskets and maybe some stage 8 locking bolts. I don't know if a throttle body would do much for you. I would go with mac underdrive pulleys instead of a throttle body.

Its not the hard but you would need a puller to remove the pullys. IDK if a parts store like autozone loans them or not.

I'll have to check that, if not I can just see the install cost at a garage and get it done that way, just have to say up for a little before I get it installed.

You said something about gaskets and locking bolts, would this have everything i need?

Here is a video that may help you. Even though it is on a Mod it is still the same principle. http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustan...o-install.html

Those don't have locking bolts but you may get by with those.

You dont need a puller to install underdrives. The only pulley you would need a puller for is the power steering and that has nothing to do with the underdrives. You would need an impact wrench to get the alternator nut off though, but alot of people does'nt run the underdrive alternater pulley (including myself) because of charging problems. Also you would need a different lenght belt with the underdrives.

I thought some came with a new balancer but I guess that is just for the 4.6 mustangs, thats why I said you need a puller.

Well, I'll probably just go with the headers for now and find out how much it will cost for a garage around here to do the underdrives, knowing me i'd mess something up.

I was wrong on the underdrive's, you don't need a puller. As geico would say "It so easy a caveman could do it." The underdrive would be a lot easier to install than the header's. Even steeda says it is easy http://www.steeda.com
