[align=left]Try driving with 4.10s some time. Its not near as much as a blower, but its hard to keep your foot off of it.

Hey guys,
Well I have decided to stay N/A and what to get my next part ordered that I'm going to install. Let me give you a run down of what I have on the car already:
'06 GT convertible which is my DD
Boom Tubes
Mac O/R X pipe
JLT2 CAI + tune from Brenspeed
Steeda UDP
Now, after doing some reading and research I am not sure which way to turn....here are my thoughts and opitions as to what to order next:
- 3.73 Gears
- Steeda CMDP from Brenspeed
- Meziere Electric Water Pump from Brenspeed
- Mac Ceramic LT headers (1 3/4")
- Something else I'm not thinking about?
So what do you guys think, what should I order? This car is my DD, but I like to take it to the track once in awhile. Mainly, I'm trying to shoot for the most HP for the money here, you know bang for your buck type thing.
Or should I get something that's not on the list? Let me know what the next logical step is.
Thanks guys,
Nick

RE: Staying N/A, what to do next for more HP?
Thanks for the suggestions guys!
I have one more question,I was on the phone with a gentleman from Brenspeed today and he said he would think about new CAMs. He reccomened the05-08 MUSTANG NSR CUSTOM 3V CAM SET for about $645.
He saidI should easily gain about 15ish HP from these CAMs alone and said I do not need springs. What do people think about these CAMs? For the money, is the 15ish HP gain good? I don't think I could pick up another 15 HP from the addition of anything else.
Let me know your thoughts guys.
Thanks,
Nick

Oh no, tell me you didn't say cams!!
Just kidding that just normally gets everyone cranked up. Just do a search, you'll know why!
I'd go TC and then a set of gears. Me I'd go 410's. If you want to make power then gas mileage is going to be a trade off. I wouldn't sweat the difference between 410's and 373's as far as gas mileage goes. Just my opinion.

[sm=nxsmile.gif] Cams is a 4 letter word.....funy post. If this is for an occasional trip to the track, there is another way.......... Then you can spend the rest of the $$$ on drag radials and some suspension work so all that low end torque gets transferred to the ground

RE: Staying N/A, what to do next for more HP?
you should just read that thread titled "full bolt on mods list" pretty much same exact thread.. just has more info on it already..
I thought the only problem people have with cams is that the install is like around $1,000?
I wont try to argue with your reasons to stay NA but if you want bang for buck everything is gonna get very pricy and not much bang.. suspension can also help your times... they go over that in the other thread too i believe... LCA's are a popular 1st or 2nd suspension mod..
