I have a little extra money now $600-700 and I need to know some things I should do to my 1994 GT to get more sound/performance. It has a 3.55 gear and flowmasters. It's an AODE car. I also have to do a tune up on the car so that will take away some money. I was gonna put some long tubes on the car but i've heard that they're a pain to install and kill the bottom end of the car and I don't need that because my car is a slug off the line. I'm looking into buying right now a BBK cold air kit, off road H/X pipe and mac pro dumps. Got any suggestions for me? Thanks!

For sound and some power, change the mid-pipe for the biggest difference. Listen to both the H and X pipes to figure out which you like.
Do you have subframes? If not, get those for sure for a cheap mod you can feel.

good thing is you got gears already. i'd definately go w/ headers and a mid-pipe. as far as the cold air kit, most would agree that a drop-in K&N filter is about the same as getting one of the kits, plus it'll save you a little bit of money.
might wanna consider a shift kit as well, and even a tranny cooler.
i'm sure others will give you a lot better suggestions.

from what i understand, yes. an x gives you a more exotic sound while the h will give you more of a classic muscular sound. i know there is a site that has a bunch of different sound clips of different exhaust combos. might wanna search for that.QuickFox said:

Good sites for exhaust clips.
Don't do headers, just the mid-pipe will suffice. An intake manifold is a great mod. Used Cobras seem to be the best bang for the buck since they can be had cheap.
Oh yea, do NOT throw a cam in a stock motor. What a waste of money.

Where did you hear that? 
E-303's are NOTORIOUS for causing idle issues, and I heard they they were worse with autos. Seriously, don't waste your time with a cam. Why in the world would anybody pull the entire motor apart, JUST to put in a new cam? 
Makes no sense. An intake can be had for $200, and will do a lot more than a cam at this point.EDIT:

ah, i forgot the cobra intake. if you're lucky you can find a set of gt40 (even gt40P's) PLUS the upper AND lower intake for around 400. that alone will give you some niiice gains (a buddy and i found an entire 98 explorer engine with 20K miles for $550!!!).
Do longtubes and a offroad h with a catback.that will really wake the car up.All that cost me around 450.With the rest buy a cobra intake or stall conveter and shift kit.
When i put mine cai,i felt something but not much,it does sound nice when you hear it suck in the air.Ill sell you mine mac cold air intake for 50 shipped.

It's not that hard, you probably would want an extra set of hands to help you though. you have to loosen the motor mounts and raise the engine an inch or two, then the drivers side goes in from the bottom, passengers side from the top if i remember right and dont use the paper gaskets that come with them, get a good quality set or you'll be taking it back apart in no timeQuickFox said:
All of those cams, headers, intakes, and motor mods to produce more power is not the same with aode trans cars from everything I have read on these forums.
Those kind of mods work much better if you already have steep gears like you say you are gonna get
AND
high stall tc with shift kit
I'm not saying you won't make more power with those mods
Just trying to say they are not as effective as trans mods
Again, seen it so many times with the aode peeps.
Good Luck which ever way you go!
