Hello all,

As is noted in my sig (I think), I have an '89 Fox body with a '97 Mark VIII motor under the hood.

Anyways, I am wondering which mod to go with next and I am torn between several ideas:

I had thinking about picking up the Proracer software from SCT to work on my ECU programming. My future plans include a 5.4 liter bottom end. The Proracer would allow me excellent flexibility to do these kinds of things with my EECV computer.

My other idea is to throw some 4.10 gears in the rear end. Right now I am stuck with stock 2.73's.

Another idea? Stock '96-'98 intake manifold. Would there be sufficient difference between my second generation Mark manifold and a Cobra manifold to make it worth the bucks?

To make things even more difficult, I only have about $500 to spend!

Anyways, thanks for the input!

JT
