So far I have everything in my signature... I don't have any bottom end power and I was wondering what would help me out. I was thinking some gears (3.73's), maybe an Isky Cam, C&L Cold Air Intake, 65mm T/B, Larger Mass Air Meter, With the cam I probably have to get bigger injectors... how big do ya think I should get? Then maybe a short throw shifter.... I get signifigant traction now... but may have to get a better suspension set up. What do you guys think?

You definetly need more gear than 327 upgrade to 373 and your car will feel better to you

Get the Gears, 3.73s should be good, i have the same problem as you! Nothing off the line. I run freakin 2.3's and 2.4s "60" with great traction too. Im puttin in 4.10s and getting some Drag Radials, and watching those 60ft times drop!!! Just out of curiousity, you ever been down the track? Pretty nice setup you got goin

DEFINITELY the gears first - before you do anything else. Your factory air box with a K&N and the silencer removed is just as effective as a CAI - only add that if you like the cosmetics.

With your heads, intake, exhaust system and 1.7's - your throttle body and maf may be holding you back. For a budget approach, add the 70mm maf off of a 94/95 Stang, and if you can mod the throttle linkage, the 65 mm throttle body from an Explorer. If you like the way the car works, especially with the gears, I wouldn't bother with the cam -- you can pick up some power up top, but at the expense of torque down low.

Turbo it. How does 500Ft-Lbs at 3000RPM sound? Just add boost.
