Cool Engine Mods

To anyone that has any input i am asking what other mods i can do to my Stang!! I have put a M90, VMP 500hp kit, Kooks L/T with catted X Pipe, Pypes Violator Axle backs, Moroso Oil Ctch Can, & just for looks a set of Black Ford Racing Powder Coated Valve covers. It runs AWESOME!! Thanks to Justin @ VMP for the help. I was thinking about a set of cams but just not sure where to go from here?? Heard what ive got done is kinda the max u can do to a M90 charged Stang as far as hp goes? U guys think evem worth the money to go cams? Any & all input is appreciated?? Thanks in advance for the input!!

I have the cams and for what they give and cost don't bother IMO. They also kill your mpg.

I looked into the Brentspeed & they told me my best bet is to go with the TVS. I asked about the Saleen Stage II & he said in all honesty the TVS is the better way to go. It makes more power & will hold up better. You have any comments on this? What setup are you running? I just did all this work with the M90 upgrade pulley, tune, & c.a.i & ive put 60 miles on the setup but seem to be craving more power already!!?? Dont get me wrong,the setup has a ton of power but i just cant get enough speed!! Please let me know what your honet opinion is. Should i keep what i have & just go with cams for now? Thanks again!!!

If you want more power, just get the tvs. Dont get an upgrade kit though.. I wise man (Dimora) once said get the full kit so you can sell your M90 and make some money back.

If you're like me and just like the tinkering and adding new things that stand your car out individually (and since youve already done all that other stuff), I would definately check out the cams.. Like stated earlier, isnt going to add much but, they sound MEAN.
You could look at upgrading the suspension as well, just another idea.

Rite on. I think i will check out the cams & see what i come up with. I was looking at the Ford Racing cams & they have recieved great reviews but are about $80- 100 bucks more than the others. Ive never messed with putting new cams on a car,is it doable by someone thats never done it before?? I see there are timing chains to take off when u do it, That nakes me nervous having to take them off!! Guess i should be able to install them since ive done all other installs myself!!?? I do have some of the upgraded Roush suspension,I can see the springs that are blue but not sure what else. Car came with those on it. Hope im not asking too many ridiculous questions but im kinda new to all this & need all the pointers i can get!!! Thanks for all the help!!!
