Poll....best Bolt-on For Under $500

[MustangMuscleV8]

yeah what was the price on the Gt40p heads? And what gains did you get?

 

[jjd975]

Tires w/o question.

 

[Gixxer750]

Sub Frames(T-Top owner) (for free)
Gears($150)
headers, o/r H, ($200 plus my stock exhaust)
U/D Pullies ($100)

Can't beat the barter system or the cash and stock parts system when looking for new stuff

 

[thumper460]

The Ps are all over in the wrecking yards... 200.00-400.00 on the internet... The Ps are the last mod from ford and flow the best of all stock heads... according to "stan Weiss's flow data " you can pull or the flow is there for 390 FWHP !! (190/127) !! cool huh??

Just me.......................

Thumper
PS.. of course the ported E7s will pull even more !! (Ahhh come on guys what did you expect??? LOL)

Best mod for $500...

Hmm... this could depend on what the car is being built to do.

Me? Drag racing. So, cost of labour [to install said part] not included? Just $500 to buy parts on a bone stock car?

Gears. MT ET Drags.

Those two alone will knock probably a second off its otherwise stock ET if you apply stern beatings to it :canflag:

 

[MustangMuscleV8]

^^ that's probably what I'd do.

Most definetly with $500 bones you should get some gears. Whether they be 3.73's or 4.10's they will make a world of difference like night and day. Then with your left overs you could savw up for some heads or something like that.

 

[astronut1885]

Headers, Off road H, flowmasters! That, or an Explorer intake and a bigger TB, or subframes and a strut tower brace. Lowering springs kick ass too!

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

first off i just wanted to give props to 85 SS 302 Coupe. And also for 500 bucks you can get alot. i got my 17" 077s, off road x, flowmaster catback and underdrives for a total of $148. (Sold old 17"s for 325, traded old catback for a PS2 and sold that for 200, got underdrives off ebay for 38, sold old h-pipe for 75.) doesnt get much better then that, do far the only thing i paid for with my own money is the xpipe and the soon to be gears

 

[StangyStealth]

I would have to go with gears, long tubes and flows. The gears to be faster w/ same hp, and the exhaust because it sounds soooo good! (plus a few ponies)

Stickers.

 

[MustangMuscleV8]

lol

 

[GTron]

Pink fuzzy seat covers and headliner, Purple dome light, and a chain steering wheel.

No, to be serious, the things that have made the most difference to my car are the gears and Pro 5.0.

 

[runningmole]

Gears, shifter, subframes, panhard bar, tires, custom cam (if you already have the heads/intake), pulley for your blower...

 

[mike keirstead]

Gears-150
Triax-160
Sticky tires-220

HEAVY RIGHT FOOT-PRICELESS

 

[mike keirstead]

Listen to this deal
Gt-40 intake and 42 pound injectors- Given to me(lucky)
traded #42 ----for LT,bcam,1.72rr,o/r h-pipe.
So i got the intake,cam,rockers,exhaust, for FREE

Lucky day that was

 

[tmoss]

You can find great deals but you have to have the money ready and MOVE when you find them. I got my Explorer intake, Explorer 65mm TB and the Explorer 19# injectors (Design III Bosch that actually flow 21-23#) for $200. Then I found NMRA Factory Stock professionally prepped low-pass GT40P heads, NMRA prepped MAC "P" head shorties and Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers all for $1,000.

 

[bored&stroked]

We put GT40P's, dual valve springs, and a comp cams hydro roller on my friends 5.0 for under $500. Now gears dont matter, cause torque dosen't care what gears you have Ok Im joking a little with a puny 3" stroke and all but still you get the point. He payed $210 out the door for the assmebled pair of new gt40P heads, and like $150 for the cam, another $100 for the springs.

 

[crazyquik50]

I'll sell ya a D16Y8 V-Tec motor for $275.00... hahaha

 

[tvmango]

my favorite cheap upgrade was my subframe conectors! made my car handle 10 times better , and no more dash shaking over railroad tracks, and 2nd would have to be a h pipe with flowmasters....... just my 3 cents
