well my paycheck came in today. unfortunately i got to pay 220 for a ticket, 100 for insurance, and a front end alignment. so i figure thats all going to be about 400. so i cant go to big. keep my mods in my signature in mind. choices are:

1. Walbro 255lph fuel pump and Kirban Fuel Pressure Regulator. (100 shot of nitrous in mind that i want to use more)

2. Ford Racing Headers Unequal Length (finish off exhaust system)

3. ET Streets and 2 10 holes

which one would you guys choose and be most benificial?

1. This won't make any gains but would be safer for the motor.
2. Headers, esp the shorties on stock heads so much don't really give any gains and too often just result in a loss of torque.
3. 2 ten holes with some ET's Streets would make the biggest drop in ET's at the track and you could still drive them on the street, legally, but not ideal. It would be better to get some DR's for the street and all out slicks for the track.

Let me suggest:

TMOSS lower intake. This would be an all around gain all the time, probally the cheapest also.
MAF, 73 C&L is the cheapest and I can tell you from experience that even with a bone stock induction it makes a noticable gain.

**You don't have subframes yet?**

MAF, I was surprised how of a difference the C&L MAF and tube made. I have pretty much all the bolt-ons and was running a stock MAF. I bought the tube because I don't like having the nitrous nozzle in a flimsy rubber tube.

Save your money; make a mustang fund. Every payday put some away until you meet your goal of the money you wanna spend(first you have to set a goal). If I was you I'd start a bank account with no ATM card so the only way you could get money is to actually drive to the bank.....make it as much as a hassle to get money as you can. Hell use a bank in the next city. That way you can mod whatever you need with not so much of a low budget, there's always times when an emergency fund is very do'able. JMO...USA!!!!!!!!

I don't believe in save the money Idea listed above. You will just have more cash and more confusion about what to mod next. All of the things you want are important so just kep upgrading as you go. THe tires and whels will give you the most bang for the buck on the track so I would go with them the nextr time you have some free cash.

I agree. Headers will not help you at all.

A bigger mass air will help but I like the Pro-M 80 the best out of all the ones I have tried including the C&L and 75 mm bullet.

TMOSS lower would be a great bang for the buck right now.
