it all depends on how much money you can afford to spend on your car... what is your max budget you can do for this car? Start there then we can help you..

JamieH

at the moment not much...prolly only like 200-400 right now ...thanks for your time...Jamie

with 86 you have a set of horrible heads. your down on power compared to a 87 and up model.

JamieH

ohsoquik...where is a good place to check out heads and what kind would i need ?.... i know i prolly so like a dumbass lol...but i'm new to this whole thing and guess i gotta learn somewhere...thanks...Jamie

It really depends on what you want to do. For that much you could hook up nitrous, headers,H pipe,exhaust,chip,intake,etc but basicly you gotta choose one of those. Could also save up a littl more and get some heads, stroker kits, you get the idea. What do you really want from your car... is this a daily driver ?</P>

Quik

hey bud, pick up some recent issues of muscle mustang and fast fords / 5.0 mustang and super fords. the last few months they did tests and comparisons on heads.

you can buy most heads from summit or jegs

JamieH

T5 ...yes it is a daily driver ...also what is H pipe's ? ...also i am having my cat.converters cut off ...will this help any if at all ?...and what does a cold air kit run and is it worth it as well ?.....Jamie

Quik

dont cut off the cats. just buy a new offroad pipe.

a h or x pipe helps to even out the flow of the exhaust while adding some power to the dual exhaust setup. also affects the sound.

a true cold air kit is nice to have. they run around 150[neighborhood] the do help out but dont expect 15hp lol. when they post that it is with other mods.[they just dont tell you that]

JamieH

ohsoquik...thanks for the explanation lol..i live in mississippi,so we dont have any emmission laws here .... and a friend of mine said it would be better to cut them off....said something about them being stopped up or clogged ?...lol,man i dunno..let me know your opinion....thanks again...Jamie
