T.B and pulleys worth it on near stock 5.0?

i would do the pulleys also a good air filter. on my first mustang it was a 86 with 3:73s, stock h pipe with the cats out, a drive shaft, a good shifter the car ran a best of 13.40. i ran the race crank pulley with the newer alt. i think it was of a 94-95 car and i did not have any problems

pullies and a K&N filter.

save up and upgrade to eplorer/cobra intake and 65 TB.

if you want a low 12/high 11 ride, save for a while and get the trick fow or systamax engine package.

Good for looks ( I have a mac fender mount for the looks) but the best cai is the stock air box, silencer removed with a k&n drop in. Is your filter mounted in the engine bay or inside the fender? About the TB and pullies, you aren't goingto really feel the power of the pullies IMHO and just like Mike stated chances are you are going to have cooling/charging issues, it just seems most people do. A slightly larger TB on a stock intake, you might feel a slight better throttle responce more so at the mid/upper range when the butterfly is open just do to the larger opening but it isn't going to anything to right home about and not enough to warrant spending the money. I think you pretty much tapped all you are going to get out of the stock motor, you are staring at the bottle necks. you could steal some more by going to an electric fan & a 3g upgrade and getting rid of the drag from the fan clutch. If you want a bigger TB start looking at the intake, like ported lower or better yet, explorer/ real cobra that will net you some gains and then look at the heads later and maybe a mass air conversion.

I'd do the pulleys and a K&N filter, then a explorer intake or cobra, then bigger air meter,65 TB/ EGR spacer.

I'll 2nd the electric fan. Noticeable differance for very little work.
