New Additions to my Stang

[Damon7278]

Ran into a little money and after nearly two years of buying my stang, its time to start making the ***** a lil bit better, but before I do, I wanted some of your opinions for what I needed to get, I have a wish list of what im getting right now and down the line, tell me if its good or not

Headers-JBA long tubes stainless steel 1.625"
Exhaust-Flowmater H Pipe
JEt perfomance chip
Pulleys-undecided
Mach 1 upgrade air intake
Mass Air Sensor-undecided

a throttle body and a blower down the line, probably next year

Get mid or longtube headers, shorties don't buy you much over stock.

Mid-pipe: Flowmaster doesn't make an h-pipe but that is going to largely depend on your catback in terms of what will sound and flow the best. Usually, straight through catback warrants an x-pipe, and chambered likes the h-pipe.

SCT Xcalibrator 2 for the tuner

Pulleys solid performance gain, go Steeda ... if not then try and avoid piggy-back style

Mach 1 will not really buy you anything performance-wise besides the look

MAF: Won't need a new one

TB: Again don't need it.

What I would concentrate on assuming your car is stock is:

Gears (Got to make a decision whether or not you are really getting a blower 3.73's or 4.10's if you are staying n/a).

Mid-pipe

Suspension (LCA's, springs, Shocks, PHB) to take advantage of the new found power.

And start saving the rest for a blower kit from MPH.

if youre gonna buy a blower, dont buy the pulleys.

no need for a chip yet, and id go with a handheld tuner.

leave the maf alone.

How would you not need a TB? Even on NA cars they pick up a little.

I would do a 75mm TB and Plenum. Itll net you alittle now but when you do the blower itll help you out more.

Whatever you do, do NOT get a Jet chip. They are the worst of the worst.
The Mach 1 intake is a sweet idea, and so are the headers. In my opinion, Flowmaster is hugely overrated. I'd go with a matching JBA H-pipe, or something by Dr.Gas. This is if you're for sure set on starting with the go, rather than the show. I'd consider getting some nicer wheels and some springs initially, just because they make you feel completely different about your car.

You get the power gains from the Plenum, not the TB. If you do the TB buy itself, you won't gain much if anything at all. On a near mildly modded car, the TB is not the bottle neck, which means there isn't much to be gained from getting a bigger one.
