horse power mods?
I also have a 95 gt 5.0 and i am looking for some cheap mods. I'm going with cut out cats and run some flowmasters into the stock exhaust. also i know i need to run a cold air. I have heard some of the later explorer intakes and heads( i know they ran the 5.0 in the exploders untill 2002? i heard they have gt40 heads) will help with some flow. I also have a no2 system on my 67 and I have been thinking about running a wet system on my 95 with the same bottle. (any cheap systems with out a bottle around a 50-75hp?) I was also going to go to a edelbrock performer rpm cam shaft ( i have one in my 351w cougar)
Transmission and drivetrain mods
auto transmission are a little beyond me the only higher hp cars i have had with a auto was my supra and i left the trans stock. I was thinking about a shift kit and a 2500 rpm stall converter. any suggestions? how much will a stock auto trans take (i know this verys on miles and the car taken to it but i get an idea?)
diff? I dont know what diff my car has can i tell via the vin? I was looking for something between a 4.11 to 3.75 but if its lower than say a 3.55 i will not mess with it.

suspension?
I was thinking about some light rear shocks and a ebiock drag pack kit. i am running nitto nt555r tires at the moment.

If your car has a stock rear end, its not going to have anything higher than 3.27... and your vin is the wrong place to be looking.

should be an E, M or X
