Default Good combo ?? Any suggestions ??

Right now im driving a stock '92 GT w/ normal mods(air silencer removed, K&N filter, Flex-A-Lite fan, flowmaster exhaust and 9mm plug wires). I plan on taking out a loan and doing some mods: GT-40 upper & lower, "B" cam, AFR 185cc heads, 65mm throttle body(& EGR spacer), BBK fenderwell mount intake, Tremec 3550, 3.73's, B&M short-throw shifter, and 75mm mass-air. If i did all that, would i need the 24# injectors too, or should i just them anyway ? Should this combo work pretty well together ? Any advice/suggestions ?

Taking out a loan to work on your car? Um... my advice is to get your priorities straight. Save up the money is my advice.

I do have my priorities straight. just, this way, i can do it all at once instead of having to wait, thats all. but, do you think the combo would work alright ?? or, u have diff suggestions for me on what works with what ? but, i guess trial-and-error is half the fun, isnt it ?

Man...taking out a loan to buy car parts AIN'T havin your priorities straight, and this is comin from a 19 year old college boy who learned the hard way not to drag your daily or drive your dragger.

You gotta save money for food, rent/payments, ect.. before modding a car man......how do I know this is your boat? If it wasn't, you wouldn't need to take out a loan for it.....

you don't need 24# injectors with that set up but I doubt any bank will give you a loan to buy car parts!
why don't you save up first and do it a little at a time so you don't go into debt over it? you're going to school at the beach, right? save your money and enjoy the beach first then worry about the Stang!

I agree with the above gents...loan for car = good; loan for car parts = bad

the only reason im taking a loan out in the first place is to buy a new tranny(and gears).....figured id do it all at once, but, i was just asking for comments/suggestions on it in the first place. but, i need a tranny and im gonna go ahead and get the gears too. but, that was the only reason for the loan, and i started thinking about doing bolt-ons, but, i dont think im going to now. just stick to the tranny and gears...
