Alright, to put things short: I nearly sold my project stang a year ago, but the deal fell through and I've been working on it to make it faster ever since. It's an 88GT that's waiting on my 351 (going all out 408), and that is obviously going to take some saving considering I only work on weekends and go to school full time. That being said, I've still got my 302 and want to make it a nice street rider. Here's what I've got so far brand new and waiting to be installed (except the heads, which are redone):

- 24LB injectors
- E-303 cam
- Edelbrock upper and lower intake
- Ford Racing 4.10 gears
- 1.7 Roller Rockers
- BBK Equal Length Headers
- BBK H-pipe without cats and Flowmasters
- Underdrive Pullies
- GT-40P heads (ported, polished, and matched to intake)
- Cold Air Intake [pending]
- AOD HP Transgo Shift Kit

Is there anything else you guys can think of that are relatively inexpensive modifications that I can throw in there that will add horsepower? This is just a mild build and I'm not looking to take the cheap-*** route on everything, but I'm on a strict budget and I don't make much money currently because I'm not getting many hours at my job. I don't have problems spending cash though and saving for good parts, but could you suggest anything else that I could either take out, replace, or alter to give me a few extra easy horses?

Oh, and just for all your enjoyment, this is the POS that I bought awhile back and I've got every replacement interior and body part you can imagine waiting for it. But, just for a good laugh, this is what it looked like when I bought it. I've cleaned it up alot more since then, but I'm redoing the whole inside, and these are the only pictures I have at the moment anyways.

I'll post pictures of the car with the new body parts and all that crap before it gets sprayed in the next month or so.

Forgot to also add that I'm looking to get another fuel pump as I know this will help some (and a new fuel pump never hurts, obviously), and I was thinking of going with a BBK 255LPH pump.

here's a fuel pump, cheaper then the bbk but just as good if not better.

some things i can think of right now would be valve springs(maybe), pushrods, and i would upgrade to maf if i were you, unless you can find someone that knows how to tune a speed density car. also a new throttle body maybe a 70mm.

DeltaElite121

I actually have someone who's very good at tuning Speed Density, so that's not a problem just yet. What do you recommend I get for springs? I forgot about those, but I was going to get those replaced as well.

wow that's a project

DeltaElite121

That's a nice way of putting it. Haha. I think it could pass as a grade A beater. Maybe I should sign up for Pimp My Ride and let them throw flat panel TV's all over the car? Because we know I want my fox riding on those 8-million spoke 22's

ctgreddy

i dont know what springs to recommend. i'm far from a valvetrain guy!
just search on summit, the ecam is mild so you shouldn't need too much of an upgrade.

Now that I think about it, did you paint those ponies on your car in your sig? I was going to powdercoat my turbines, but my buddy only has his anodizing stuff set up, and not the powder-coating so I'm looking for a reliable and heavy duty surface for the aluminum. Are those aftermarkets, or did you paint those?

ctgreddy

neither, they're photochop'd haha. ur the 2nd person to ask. they're stock gt rims off a 96-98. i'm thinking about painting them but i havn't decided if it'll be worth the time to do it yet.

I can't really think of anything else. I mean, there's always something but right now I'm kinda stuck. Oh, that also reminds me.. I need to get replacements for my car's headlights. Any of you know of a good supplier that carries some nice stock-looking lights (crystal or some type of glass) ..
