i am currently in iraq for a year and well i am buying parts for my 88 mustang gt back home i have a rebuilt 302 with 8000 miles on it. i port and polished my heads and intake, added a E303, cold air intake, 1.7 cobra rr, heavy duty valve springs, mass air conversion, underdrive pullies, bbk lt headers, custom off road x pipe, slp mufflers. i was wanting to get the RPM II intake and the performer rpm heads from edelbrock. my plans are by the end of my tour is to get a turbo kit from HP (for sure thing). i need some advise a good head intake combo that will work together to produce some serious power and still be streetable not legal but like a badass cruise car

thanx guys for all of you support. is there any websites out there that has a forum talking about the different turbo sellers, kits, how the costomer was treated, and how long the wait was, and if they got the complete kit. as for heads and intake i need a good flowing combo, i just bought a 75mm TB & Spacer, 76mm MAF meter. buddy told me that the spyder intake system was really good for turbos and superchargers, with some afr 185. going to iraq is a bunch of

Hey man, I'm also in Iraq and shopping for my 'Stang, it definetly passes the time reading the forums and looking up parts. Deployment is good for making car money and thats about it. I wish I could be getting a turbo too but I'm just doing a N/A 331. A place I have been dealing with on parts for my buildup is D&D Automotive Specialties, they'll do price matching and help with your build.

Good Luck over...here and with your project!
