full lenghths , then use the rest to save up for a blower and do the other smaller stuff later , saving up money for a supercharger is hard to do so do it while you have a head start

Or why dont you get a nice suspension setup and lower your machine. Joe has some deals running on suspension you should call him and check it out.

If you want power, then save for the blower as 2002blgt said you have a head start, making it a little easier.

If you dont want to save, just do a full exhaust!

Im going to the track today. With my new wet kit. I may have to change my sig it to 11s;but more like low 12s. My old time was a 12 98. with dry kit at 278hp and 344rwtq. New #s in my sig. I'm going to need a wider slick now!!!

finish your exhaust, get some U/D pulleys if you plan to stay n/a, then get rid of the 4X4 look.

Cool. Thanks for the advice. Here is what I was able to get from talking with Joe at Mustang Magic. Tokico Shocks/Struts, Steeda Springs, Steeda Tubular Front Sway Bar, Steeda Underdrive Pulleys, Accufab 75mm TB, Dyno Run - Total including labor/tax $1557.30
Heres something interesting that happened while on the dyno - he was going to reflash my computer with a hidden ford program and what not, and when he put it on the dyno he said there was nothing he could do to get more power because my af and everything came out perfect. He said I must be one of the few who got one of those freak mustangs - he says the car runs perfect.

Does Mustang Magic do a good job? I want to get my car tuned in the spring and I was thinking about going over to them.

I've been to them twice already and they've done a great job in my opinion. You can also just bring your car down and they work on it immediatley and they are real fast with there work.

With the next 1500 you can buy an Eaton posi, new clutch, al driveshaft, and some rims with slicks! That will work nicely with what you have and send your car into the 12's!

upgrades

I recomend a good set of headers Preferably kooks or other quaility manufacture along with a set of pereceies or copper mr gasket header gaskets. A set of long tubes would be perefered. A nice Nitrous kit would be great preferably by nitrous express. A good set of drag radials and rims bould be great also.

I know that this would be a little more than 1500 but how about having you pi heads get a stage 2 port job from fox lake and a set of mild camshafts from crane or crowler. I would stay away from compitation camshafts since they have stiffed several people here with bad parts.
