Its been months since Ive dumped money into the dargon. Ive got this new job, all this months bills are paid off, funds for car payments and insurance are good until September. All I can do is sit here and browse the interweb looking at parts I want. What should I buy?

Rims? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9...emQQcategoryZ43958QQitemZ8070692864QQtcZphoto

Headers? ($-Kooks-$ + Jet-Hot )


Shocks/Struts/CC's so I can install my H&R Sports?

Hell I dont know what else, thats all I want before I dump $4k into a Mongoose kit.

I thought about flying to Hawaii and giving Stangless that Cleveland Steamer he wanted (queen made dinner last night, CORN INCLUDED ), but he probably wouldnt even give me a reach around.

hmm....wonder how much they'd take off without the springs. I have the same ones sitting in my closet right meow. They retail for $225+ most places, I got the Ebay special, $125

I could also sell my MM HD LCA's that are only 3 months old and get about $200-$250 for them.....*rubs chinny chin chin*

Nice Rims are like $ in the bank, save the stockers for when you sell the car.

Never!

You know I really want to get the rims, but DAMN! Tires for 18" rims are crazy! I'd just have to save up for them a little longer. I could get the rims now and let them sit around the house, torturing me.

Oh God, should I? You probably dont wanna know.

Click to expand...
Cams would definitely be high on my list, except I plan on a Mongoose kit later this year. I could get blower cams, but with the supercharger alone I will more than overpower my stock rotating assembly, so I dont see a real need for cams until I get a built motor capable of handling a butt load of power.

If I was staing N/A, VT Stage IIs would be ordered already

No, I have their X-pipe, waiting for their headers.

Come to think of it, if bought the headers, I could sell my SLP X-pipe with cats and O/R pipes, get about $300-$350 for it, and in the end the headers would'nt cost me any more than BBK Ceramic LT's, even a little less. Hmmm........

Dragster or carver? I cannot recall what your aim is.

Something along these lines





But for now I'll settle for mid/low 13 sec ETs with daily driver reliability

Hey, is that a Motorcraft filter he's using?

who the F'k asked you















But I want headers, I need more POWA!

The stang sure would look a lot better dropped wouldnt it? The only thing that scares me about dropping it is that my SLP cats would scrape all the time. Kooks cats, however, are a lot more flat than SLPs so they wouldnt scrape as much (neither would O/R pipes though).

Im leaning towards doing this:

1. Headers (now)
2. Shocks/Struts/CC's (start of school)
3. Rims/Tires (October-ish)
4. Mongoose kit (X-mas gift to myself)
5. 31 Splines, Detroit Tru-Trac, welded axle tubes and torque boxes; sub-frames
6. Weld 15 x 8 Pro-stars w/ MT ET Streets

Hopefully all by next spring

always looking out for your arkansas bitches

It would come with Tims tune, which I would trust implicitly. However I'd still have it dyno tuned by Dynospeed in memphis to check out A/F, and create a very conservative, safe, DD tune; since I dont street race and wouldnt need all that powa on I-40.

Then one for the track
