yeah, i've been told that the speed density cars don't react well to cam swaps. You shoud do a mas air conversion. It should smooth things out.

any mods you do to a speed density car is not the forgiving. you can either do a conversion or keep the speed density and get it tuned but this cost some serious cash. most cars running the speed density do run fast but were talking about straight out race rides.

#1 Mass air conversion with73mmmass air meter</P>


#2 3.55 Gears</P>


#3 Shorty headers and an offroad h-pipe with flows</P>


#4 Transgo Shift kit</P>


#5 Edelbrock Performer Intakeand 65mm BBK throttlebody</P>


#6 MSD ignition, coil, and some good wires</P>


These mods should get you where you want to be. If you want to be faster than this you're gonna have to tear into the guts of you motor. You can always add nitrous for a cheap kick in the pants but you HAVE to know the limits of your car or you WILL wish you had never laid eyes on that little blue bottle of juice. Trust me, I learned the hard way. </P>

you can build a twin turbo set up for around 1500, bolt it up to a stock stang and run in the high 11s

Don't believe that BS about the twin turbos. You can NOT build a setup for around 1500. And in my opinion, turbos are on the bottom end of the power-adder totum pole. Just keep it kinda simple with the add-ons I listed above and you will be happy.
