Some parts?

[Vaz88GT]

I've been looking around, checking this and that. But It seems whenever I pick out something I cannot use it because its overpowered.

Anyways, I have a stock ( except H pipe and headers ) 302, 88 gt.

The only thing I've picked out is 3.73 gears

I'd like some ideas on a budget build for street. Not looking to run 11's. Just beat local cars and have some fun. It is also a daily driver.

So blast away

Congratulations!!!!!! You're the 4 millionth one to ask the same question
Seriously, I know you're just starting out, but just look back over the last year here and your questions are all answered,......in spades.

No need to be an ass, I tried searching and found relevant. I just want a guide on what order to upgrade, from which to get before that..

First and most important... Is ur car mass air? If it isn't, u can't do much without changing to it

 

[Vaz88GT]

No it isn't, I was wanting to convert it but really had no clue at which kit to buy, but I also read its best to get a new throttle body and fuel injectors too.

How about this?

This is essentially what I want, the order is what im confused.

1: MAF conversion
2: SR Performance 70mm Throttle body/With SRP 70mm EGR Spacer
3: BBK Cold Air Intake
4: Ford Racing 3.73 Gears
5: New heads
6: New Intake

 

[stykthyn]

ahh a list. now we can get to work. what heads and intake are you looking at?

 

[Boosted92LX]

I think a lot of people here disagree, but I've always had the opinion that if heads and intake are coming off, may as well get a cam too. Kinda pointless not to, imho.

Agreed. As stated, conversion to mass is a must if u plan on doing any more than exhaust work.. do that, then grab a new timing set, and a trick flow hci kit .

To his credit the stangnet search SUCKS. I can search stangnet better on google than I can on the actual website.

 

[stykthyn]

at this point I would say bust out the credit card and order the TFS kit from summit. EVerything you need to pound out 300+hp in one neat box.

+2 I love the tfs heads I just put on. Waaaaay stronger than the edelbrocks

 

[Vaz88GT]

Well 3 grand is a bit high above my budget, after bills i'm really just left with only about 200 a week.

Here is some pics..

I would love to tear it down, clean it and re paint it grey.

 

[stykthyn]

Yikes. That filter is -20hp. Seriously.

 

[93project]

Dude, go buy a bbk air intake or at least a stock air tube/box with a k&n. That is the weeniest looking filter setup ever.. and yea, its probably robbing power

 

[Vaz88GT]

Yikes. That filter is -20hp. Seriously.

Oh :/, what would you suggest? Can't I just bolt on a CAI?

 

[93project]

Any will do. But almost none are actually cold air... If the filter grabs air under hood, its the opposite. Find a junkyard stock intake tube and box and by the k&n panel filter
