So cam and heads in place of the fuel mods? Is the injectors too much period? or are they not needed at all? As far as the cam goes, what should i get for lift and arms?

In what areas would be best to spend the money to get the speed? Like i said i'm not that familiar with mustangs (yet), but i'm not completely dumb either (i hope). I just wanna make sure i'm puttin the money where it needs to be.

Thank You

So i was lookin at heads, and i had no idea they were gonna be that much? Would it be easier to port and polish my stock heads or get a new set?

don't make the same mistake i did and trying to work with the stock heads at all. heads are the number one that kills a 5.0's power there just so SMALL. you can unleash a good amount of power just from swapping the heads. for the cost it would take to make the crappy e7's flow alright you could be more than half way there to buying a set of GOOD heads. cause you have to think the cost of bigger valves, the port work, the valve anglejob etc etc that stuff isn't cheap

give us a budget that you have set out right now and we can help you go faster.
