Default planning out future mods

hey everyone, i am planning out some mods for my 'stang and i just wanted some input/comments/suggestions on what else i can do to make the best of this set up. as of right now i have the mods in my sig and i am planning to purchase the following over the winter time:

gt40 heads
'93 cobra intake
strut tower brace
subframe connectors

i am just going for a fun street car for weekend/evening cruising. will i benefit a lot from adding a cam to that list and should i also upgrade the maf and tb? please feel free to make any suggestions that will make my car run great. thank you!

Not bad, you will need a cam, If you have the money I would get better heads and intake, but if not they will work out good. Cobra have 265 horse so you should be close

i see what you're saying about the heads but i think they are great budget heads(i dont have a whole lotta $) and i think they are good for a car as mildly modded as mine. everyone else dont hesitate to tell me if you think i am wrong and should rethink the heads and intake. i really appreciate your input stang8689

If your on a budget gt-40's are great. If you copy the 93 Cobra set-up you should be straight. Get 24# injectors, 70mm MAF with 1.7 r.r. But you will notice a difference

stock injectors aren't enough?

Your stock injectors will be fine. They can handle around 290-300 hp.

That's probably close, i wouldn't think any more though. I have a new f-cam if interested.
