The headlights were more of a necessity due to the stock ones turning yellow and one of the refracting posts breaking off in the headlight housing. First mod is the split port swap. From my research the 3.8 and 4.0 blocks are the same basic structure and both can handle around 10 lbs of boost on the stock innards. And the stereo has already been upgraded from the stock so I can use my iPhone for my music.

Thanks for all the compliments on my dd. split port swap refers to swapping the heads, upper and lower intake from the 99-00 stangs. The 98 v6 used a single port intake which is very restrictive on the intake of air for combustion. The split port intakes allow a larger amount of air to enter the combustion chamber to burn more efficiently. And yes I am a paramedic. I function as a medic here in north Carolina close to the beach. Thank god for the summer time. Lmao
