Have about $4000-$5000
Hey I came into about $4000 - $5000
Car already has gears T-loc, CAI, Tuner, GT take offs. I have been thinking about an x-charger but I'm not sure I really want to go with supercharhing the car.
I like my GT wheels and I added a hood scoop.
Any thoughts on what I can do that would be cool? Thanks

there are lots of options... you could get a blower of any sort, you have the money for any of em, you could go heads/cams if n/a appeals to you more, and for an extra 200 bucks you could go turbo, but dont forget install/tune charges on all of those setups.

RE: Have about $4000-$5000
oh yay i get to speculate on n/a stuff again! LOL! I LOVE IT.
ok so here is what we know so far. Gash05 on the collective forums put down 215rwhp and 236rwtq on a mustand dyno with his auto 4.0 with TI/Xcal2 and i beleive duals with the stage two ssm heads... He put down i think 187rwhp with just bolt ons (correct me if i am wrong anyone that knows because i cant remember the exact number i just remember 187 for some reason...) well anyway, with his mods most people on a dynojet would have put down around 200whp (with just the bolt ons). So let's just say that the md calibration made it about 5-6 percent (200/187=1.07, i am using 5-6 so the numbers are conservative) off of what a dynojet will put down. This is just speculation, so don't take this as law, but it will give you a good idea. so let's say on a dynojet his numbers WITH the stage 2 heads would be about 1.06x215 and 1.06x236. thats 228rwhp and 250rwtq. great numbers really. with a manual that would be high 230's in rwhp and low 260's in rwtq.
Now from there, we don't really know how the cams are gonna work out, but since they are pretty mild, we will assume they will probably bump up the rwhp by around 10 and keep the torque somewhere around where it is at. So I say we can safely expect 240ish rwhp and 260ish rwtq with stage 3 heads/cams conservatively. really keeping an open mind means we could see in the 250rwhp range and 270rwtq range, but we really don't know for sure. But anyway you look at it, someone will hit 13's pretty easily with stage 3 heads imo.
