Ehh, I know there are a million posts like this a day, but I figure I'd give it a shot.

My car is a 2001 Mustang GT.

I have 4.10 gears, Steeda Tri-ax, SLP Loudmouth Catback, and a K&N.

I'm open to any suggestions ... my car is also sporting 20% tint all around, Mach 1 Grille Delete, and it's lowered.

I think I want to go more of the bolt-on-speed route, staying N/A.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated ..

Most HP: NOS kit and DR's and prolly enough money left over for O/R midpipe.

Best Value: o/r midpipe (160), CAI (60), TB (180), Plennium (180),
p/p job on the heads (450). All prices that i've seen on ebay or gotten from local speedshops. Hope, though, you can do your own work.

This is the best suggestion in my books. It doesn't hurt future mods if you decide to go with a power adder or stay Naturally Aspirated.

Although, if you can't install your own headers, this may go over your price range a bit. I did the Long tube headers and CAT'd H-pipe and CAT-back exhaust and it got me almost 250 rwhp. Today, xmas, I put on a plenum and 75mm throttle body. Hopefully I will get to go to the dyno shop tomorrow to see if they have any impact.

Finish up the bolt-on breathing, it will help in either direction in the long run.
