Default Now what next?

I got my exhaust done today, and I did NOT lose any power, I gained gas mileage and a tiny bit of noticable power. But what should I go for next? I was thinking some 1.7:1 roller rockers. Anyone care to give there opinion?

BTW, getting you're mufflers removed and replaced with pipe does not sound "untuned".

if you dont have it already, get a cold air intake, or either get a better camshaft (which takes a bit of work and money), or if your carburated like i am, switch to a better carburator, like a 750 or better

I've removed all of my air silencer, and I think that I'm just going to stick with that and a K&N filter. A cam sounds good though and I know how to do those. I'm thinking the B-303 cam would sound good and perform good.

What size MAF and throttle body should I get and who makes the best. Since I can only afford one at a time, which one should I get first?

if you really want to feel a difference change the gears to 3.73 or 4.10. next go with a
fenderwell cold air intake,75mm bullet mass air meter,65mm bbk tb,24 lbs injectors
to match the mass air meter.

It wont sound untuned, just sound like crap.

What size MAF and throttle body should I get and who makes the best. Since I can only afford one at a time, which one should I get first?
After a long discussion a few months ago, it was agreed upon that the size of the MAF does not matter as long as its bigger than the tb. So what I plan on doing is gettting the 83mm maf (my cold air is 83mm in the front, then goes down to 75mm) and getting a 70mm tb.

Basically the size of the tb is what makes you gain/lose hp based on your mods. If you aren't making alot of power, a 73+mm tb will hurt your lower hp but help you in the top end, but really how many people keep their mustangs above 3000 rpm consistantly to notice that little gain. So since you already have some mods, and it looks like you are going to do more, I'd advise the 70mm tb (to keep you open for more mods later) and a larger maf.

Cold air intake is also a good choice, but if you just want the K&N filter...go ahead and take the import way out (I'm gonna take flak for that one most likely).

You could also look into MSD, from what I've heard, its one of the best mods you can do to have a reliable performance driven engine. Just talk to the people who have done it.

Man, Aliate x, I wish I had something to record sound just for you. Have you ever heard a 5.0 with the same exhaust set up as mine? And btw what exactly sounds good to you?
