nope but nice car, what have you done to it?

 

[Ar_sn95]

as far as tips go, I dont know if you can run a off road x pipe on 4.6 cars and different things like you have to get a tool to change timing. I guess what I want to know is all the performance things you can do that are not too expensive

 

[helty]

best bang for the buck is gears, 3.73s or 4.10s. As far as timing goes, you can get a mechanical timing adjuster, but the more popular choice is a handheld tuner, that will also allow you to upload custom tunes, select gear ratio, tire size, fuel at WOT, read and clear trouble codes and a bunch of other neat stuff. Tuners come in handy as the mod list grows.

You can run an o/r H/X or one with cats, its up to you. One big PITA is longtube headers. They provide good power gains but are a time consuming, involved install process.

First thing I would do would be gears, and O/R mid-pipe, and maybe a shifter.

I know where you can get a timing adjuster for cheap here in a couple weeks

pm me for details

 

[Ar_sn95]

I know you can get mil eliminators for a 96 but are they the same for a 99, I had a lot of mods on my last 95 but just dont know how far you can take the 4.6 withhout getting into some seerius money
