My "to do" list:
BBK 70mm TB, BBK pulleys, BBK CAI, BBK rear upper control arms, BBK gripp springs (looking to lower 1" to 1.5"), FMS 3.73's.

This is all going to be on a 95 5.0, 5 speed. I'm open to suggestions. The end product I'm looking for is something to beat an occasional Z28 or my friends 99 GT if need be. Thanks

PS- I already have a MGW shifter, and 40 series flows, other than that its stock.

instead of the CAI get a mid-pipe, an O/R H will cost you about the same as a BBK CAI and youll gain more power/sound

100 shot of nitros, cause with the mods you have listed the only Z28 you'll be able to beat will be the 86 - 92's anything newer will still beat ya. Unless you can drive better than them.

I doubt the 90Gt mid pipe will fit the 95. The BBK upper control arms suck. My neighbor actually busted his. Find a better brand. I would do lower control arms over uppers anyway.

Without an intake manifold that 70mm is a complete waste. Look for a used 94/95 cobra intake on ebay and the classifieds.

I thought a little adjustment of your list might help. Most of the parts you listed will not get ya what your looking for. ex..70 mm tb bigger than stock intake opening. mid pipe off 90 no good do some research before you spend money on useless parts, cause you only want to spend that money once not twice.
Suggestions:
frpp 3.73's
H or X pipe
headers
pullies
intake of choice
homade cia
good luck!

I'm just not a believer in tb upgrades until you get a GOOD bit more airflow.

When you are stock or close to stock
or even if
you do replace the intake
a tb upgrade will give a gain ... but ... it will be very small.

My same thoughts go for the maf as well.

When you start to build up your combo you will run out of fuel before you run out of the tb & maf's ability to handle the air flow.

I'd get rid of the stock mid pipe instead of doing a tb.

I do think an intake manifold is a great mod with the stock heads
and
its not too much trouble to deal with later when you go for heads & cam.

the mid pipe should fit but the hangers are in different locations
