UD pullies, then gears and t lock, dual exhaust, and maybe a shifter kit if u have any left

Be smart about the exhaust. Go to a shop and ask them if they can keep the old exhaust of Mustangs that they cut off. Then you only pay labor fees

what are you talking about???

he can do the blower,put gears on with a detroit and exhaust for $2200.

there is nothing wrong with just doing the gears and blower first.

hell i did my blower as my 3rd mod. 1.8's duals then blower and saved up for gears.

he can do the gears and blower first if he wants but he can add a GT takeoff exhaust and everything may cost him $2200


so your saying get UD pullies gears and exhaust and then down the road get a blower for $3000+ another $600 for injectors and MAF???

you would have to be a complete and total moron not buy the blower for $1450 if you had $2000 saved up for mods.

i think he should jump on the blower because he would be getting it at such a low price as opposed to if he waited to get it later. however, if the blower wasnt discounted or he doesnt want one period i would definatly get a powerpak and then gears and trutrac

im only going to Sorry for how long we dragged it out...

but seriously, I did give him advice...

READ! Jthorn already said forget about the Spacer, its junk! I didn't have to, i said X-pipe and mufflers from Summit.

So what if i listed apperance mods!!, he said he didn't want to, thats fine with me!!

I'm feel bad when you go running when a V8 posts, who cares what they think.

Want to know a secret...I post in the 4.6L forum!

get a life!

Sincerely,
Tom

Dont get me wrong, Id probably jump right on a supercharger if I had an extra 2k. But assuming he's stock, I would think you should do some things before that s/c to compliment it...1450 for the sc, installation fees and a dyno tune to get it running great is gonna take most of your money and youll still have stock intake,exhaust....

yea thas what i was saying. i mean you can run a sc using the stock intake but you can squeeze out more power with a powerpak. but since hes not gonna get this deal again he may as well get the sc while it lasts. if you want u can wait to install it till you get the rest of you set up. and installing a vortech isnt hard you can do it yourself it just takes like 8hours.
