Just got a stang Monday night and looking for suggestions. As you can see from my sig. not much is done, but i plan on putting on a Bassani X-pipe w/ cats, MAC cat back, and looking into a fenderwell-mount cold-air intake, MAF and throttle body. Any suggestions on size of MAF and T.B.? I'm on a tight budget and will probably keep everything else stock... Any more cheap mods I can do? Also- how much better is Pro-M than C&L? Thnks...

I wanna get cats to pass emisions without switchin midpipes everytime. I was thinkin of getting 3.73's put its a lot of $ to get them installed. Would Ignition stuff add any power?

Well you would only have to swap it out once a year so it wouldn't be too bad of a deal. I've seen gears for $400 installed so thats not too bad of a deal

Ignition wont help you, nor will the CAI as it changes the velocity of the air due to the tight bend which makes your MAS give false readings.

Pro-Ms are better due to their electronic calibration, where C&L uses tubes.

I suggest getting some 1.72 rockers(used are OK if you check them out first), full exhaust, MAS & full synthetics throughout(motor, tranny, rear end).
A throttle body wont really give you much, it may hurt you if you go too large. I would wait till the funds came around for an intake swap to get one. Gears and a good tune would get your times down into the 13s for sure.

Save the money and get the gears 1st.Underdrive pulleys will ad to the seat of the pants feel and the engine will rev faster.Headers are also a good power adder.Ignition parts don't add hp just make the car run smoother due to a better spark and if you start dumpin more fuel in the engine or add blower or nos you need a better spark.
