whew, that was a lot of ?s and info.

ok, 1-removing the air silencer will NOT make your car run worse, and certainly, your car will still start. i have done it myself, as have prob thousands of others. it is a safe mod, and all it is doing is opeening up your intake tract a bit more. your local boys have no idea what they are talking about!

2-your dad is right, in a sense, it you are getting gears, its a good idea to get some other supporting mods. youll need a speedometer calibrator, b/c if not, your speedo will be off. itll be a good idea to beef up your diff at the same time, with a t-lok (if you are staying stockish), or a detroit truetrac (if you are planning more than intake and exhaust). all new fluids and gaskets and what not will be a good idea.

3-a transgo shift kit would be good...but a tuner kit, i believe, can also firm up your shift points.

hope this helps a bit.

If you have to ask about removing the air silencer then you have a lot more reading to do before you ask a question. And all your friends are dumbasses.

If you seriously have a 3k budget, and aren't a hopeful like most of the forum posters listen up:

3.73 gears: The only thing you need is the install kit. With 3.73 gears you would probably wan't to get a tlok since you would be paying for the install twice if you got it later down the road. And a master bearing kit.

No, you won't need a new transmission slap whoever told you that.

With the rest of your 2,300$: If you wan't power buy a xcal2, long tubes, full exhaust, Jmod.

If you have money left over: head to SSMS or Rpmmustangs.com and see if you can afford heads/intakes/cams (doubt you'll have enought but hey save up)

If you wanna do suspension: Get some springs (eibach pro kit, H&R, etc.) and you can look at the mach1/bullit upgrade (google)
