Default new parts

New to the forum.Just ordered a bunch of after market parts for my 01 black bullitt and wondered if anyone had a similar setup.I was curious as to what to expect as far as performance and any problems/tips for installation that you would have.I just puchased a JLT CAI,Diablo Sport Tuner,Zex wet 75-125injected nitrous system,Accell coil packs, and an aluminum drive shaft.Just wondered what to expect.I also am trying to decide on a set of headers so if any of you have any suggestions i would appreciate them.I already have an aftermarket exhaust so i would prefer something that would bolt right up like stock manifolds.

your rear calipers need a tool to get the piston to go back in, other than that, installing rotors is straight forward. SLP longtubes are good, shorty headers, which would bolt up like the stockers, are worthless.

Yeah I wondered about the shortys.You wouldn't happen to know where I could get one of the caliper tools do you?If they arent rediculous in price I will just buy one.

autozone, they might be 5 bucks. You can also use a pair of needle nosed pliers.

there are two notches, stick the pliers in them and turn clockwise to depress the pistons.
