Got $1500 to spend...

gears and x pipe and the 5 spd conversion...

the headswap does give you more power, and there are nothing wrong with autos... but


a 5 spd car is WAY more fun.... the 5 spd swap was at the top of my to do list, until i got stupid and bought rims instead so now i need tires, and then a new tranny lol

well as being a fellow owner of the slowest v8 mustang since before87.. i can tell you dont mess around, get gears (see sig)... it helped soo much more than i could have possibly expected, the car is a blast to drive now even with the slushbox auto..

I think you should go for the 5 spd swap.
An auto with the PI headswap and 3.73 gears isn't any faster than a stock non-PI 5spd.












Ok, I'm kidding, just seeing if tomustang was paying attention

If you could get another auto, and put a bit of $ into it, I think you'll be pretty impressed with how much better it is than the stocker. With a good converter and harder shifts, an auto can be real contender at the track. It would be a heck of a lot easier than converting yours to a 5 spd.

Is there quite a difference between yours and the 99+ , when you guys were racing?
Could you reel him in if he got a bit of a jump?

i pulled on him very well, couple of times. it was jersey light-to-light traffic. soon enough i'm gonna get dyno'd. i found a place near me.
