i wasnt trashing on anything besides the 'chip' those are just a scam..

but anyway what you have is a start but they wont really do much since the biggest limiting factor on these cars is the stock heads.

as for recomendations what are your goals with the car?

just an FYI overall ive had quite the bad experience with every BBK product ive used...

headers rusting after not very long on the car.
h-pipe the flanges pull off the flared ends
TB whistled and was sticky (had 2 of them and they both did this) Accufab FTMFW
the CAI tubing doesnt fit well

it seems like your heading in the right direction with mods. You should try to do heads and exhaust next for sure. since your on a budget, you can upgrade to gt40 heads from 93-95 cobra or gt40p heads from explorers. and add a cam and youll have a nice street car.

You havent really upgraded anything, you just keep adding parts that dont give you a damn thing! Also, if by smog delete and A/C delete, you mean that you installed those stupid *** pulley systems... just another waste of money. You could have spent $20 and just put a shorter belt on the car.

I have bolded the places where you have wasted money.

Really not trying to hurt your feelings or anything, but none of those parts have really given you anything.

ya you should do both at the same time, since you must remove the upper and lower intake to replace the heads anyway. why do it 2wice?

try and find a used set of trickflow heads try and find 190cc not the 170cc

as for intake there are a bunch of good ones out there.. holley systemmax2, tfs track heat, even the gt40 tubular w/ the lower ported

corral.net is your friend for used parts
