Alright gents, this weekend is finally when I'm starting to add some power under the hood. I'll attach some pics of what I'm running now, and the hardware going in. Wondering how much power gain I'll see from all this stuff, the big three are:
1993 cobra intake
F303 cam
Aluminum GT40 heads
BBK long tube headers
Edelbrock high flow water pump
24lb ev1 injectors
Better Fuel pump
24lb MAF


Already running BBK off-road x pipe and SLP loudmouth 1 resonators.

You will probably make an additional 80-100 hp to the tire. Maybe more if you port the intake and throw that cam in the trash

I'm guessing the OP will get about 275rwhp, just a guess. Should be a lot of fun on the street though so don't get caught up in the numbers game.

Should make 280-300 hp at the wheels.

Please get a more modern cam than a Ford Racing alphabet cam. Your leaving hp and lots of driveablity on the table by installing that out dated piece of junk.

I swear I have that same comforter on my guest bed. Did you get it from Bed Bath and Beyond? I had a nice hand me down on there, but my father in law bled all over it, and this was the most affordable option I could find.

OP here. Christmas day, just got almost all the parts I need to complete the build this weekend. Don't forget my godforsaken and dreadful F cam on the list. Honestly you guys like to crush that F CAM!! I've heard mixed reviews, but the short answer is YES I will be adding a vortech or procharger probably within a year. Look at all that engine bay space! I know the argument against the F cam, but thanks guys. I'm not splitting hairs here over tenths of a second on the track here just trying to get a mean street Stang. *Flips bird to haters*
