I would do A pi headswap then you will be up with the 99+ gts and the
Steeda underdrive pullies are a good mod!! Welcome to moding the stang

I had a 1991 300zx NA before I got the new Mach.... I had tons of fun with it.

I am going to assume you did not have the TT model, in which case you did a good switch.

If my 300zx would have been TT, I would still be cruising around in it.... but no such luck.

Great to hear! I would start with exhaust, longtubes if you can afford it...if not get an X pipe and catback. Pullies, plenum and throttle body, shifter are all great mods to start out with.

Ditch the stock mid pipe....You can get heads,intake and PI cams..for around 700-800 used....ford wants a ridiculous amout of money for new ones....Pullies are a good mod almost everyone here preaches steeda.(so will quietly say I picked up 10rwhp with MAC on the dyno and it was 50 degrees warmer than the last dyno without them).....as far as CAI I run a UPR and like it alot especially when you hear it after stomping on the gas. If you do the swap dont forget to include a dyno tune, a hypertech and if it were me the upgraded computer from ford racing.....I am only a few more paychecks away from doin mine!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!
