you have stock intake? if so i woulD deffently say new upper and lower to give them heads some air.

 

[93cobra12]

get an intake, u did all those mods but left out an intake ?? Man, ur starving those heads !! But after that focus on ur brakes then suspension !

 

[samuraichamploo]

anyone else? cmon peeps.
what type of intake?
just the upper/lower or tb and mas too?
which ones? i only got so much cash to work with right now

 

[MrKwik]

I would say the intake end of things needs attention but since you dont have enough for a good aftermarket intake and TB why not try something like a tmoss lower, then you should have enough left over for a larger tb.

edit:
I just realized your sig says "new top", do you have a convertable? $400 would probably be well spent stiffining up the chassis some or maybe even a roll bar if you can afford it.

 

[tmoss]

Verts really do need subframes - I put Kenny Brown chassis kit in mine ~ $300. I can make a really nice gain in porting the intake when your ready ~$130 with shipping roundtrip.

 

[samuraichamploo]

do you have some links?
yes its a convertible.
I like the way the lightbar thing looks, but couldnt find one earlier

 

[samuraichamploo]

anyone????

 

[samuraichamploo]

Also!! Where could i get a rolling chasis in louisiana? I hate the vert, caz it lacks security + extra weight.

 

[samuraichamploo]

anyone??>??

 

[Bone Racing]

if u have a vert...your FIRST mod should be subframes

 

[samuraichamploo]

where can i get those?
and wtf are they???

 

[Michael Yount]

Intake for sure - pm tmoss for more info. The verts are heavy too - do you have gears? That'd probably make the biggest difference. But the single biggest bottleneck to flow on the engine is the stock intake - who put the heads on with the stock intake? Guess they didn't know....

 

[samuraichamploo]

so is a intake, or the subframe connectors more important?
im pushing more than 300 rwhp

I'd get an intake on it if it were me - can't believe all the other mods were done, and it's all being strangled through the stock intake. Your claim of over 300 rwhp - you've had it dyno'd?

The convertibles are ESPECIALLY flexible in the unibody with the top cut off. Even though there are reinforcements, they're not nearly enough to stiffen up the unibody -- the subframe connectors will help with that. You gotta decide which you want next. I'd get the engine breathing correctly, then focus on tightening up the unibody.

Subframe connectors can wait , go for the intake.

try out stangstore.com

and maximum motorsports.com

go for the intake then subframes then a couple suspension mods loose a couple pounds off your car

 

[samuraichamploo]

how is the typhoon intake'?
cant beat the price.

 

[tmoss]

The Typhoon is a good intake, but without changing heads it won't make much if any better average power in the 2k-5.5k rpm power band. Below 2k where we do lots of stop-and-go it's not even close - the stock or ported stock lower is the winner hands down. The aftermarket intakes offer advantages in power with better heads and at higher end of the usable rpm on a E7 head motor.
