I'm with them... you're still about 40-50 Hp short of where you could be I'd say... you've done all the mods that don't really add much power.

longtube headers FTMFW

I know it's not a power mod, but subframe connectors maybe should be next on your list.

^ Steeda pulleys.

Jbauer · Mar 23, 2010

alright i'm saving up for some pulleys. as far as heads and cams..way too much money, i might as well supercharge at that point. i am happy with the performance of my GT..i just wanted a little more pep. hopefully the pulleys do a lil' sumthin sumthin'

fast97gt · Mar 23, 2010

not much with the pulleys, i dumped mine when i swapped motors. to me all they really did was make the engine rev a LITTLE quicker. i wouldnt waste the money. just do the cams, hell after the tune youll net 45-55hp, i cant wait till i do mine. really though, you havent spent any money "yet" you have to pay to play. $=hp hp=satisfaction

you can find a good set of cams for about $400ish, and maybe go with 4:10's

LTs
aluminum flywheel

To get the nice power gains, you have to spend some money. Pretty simple.

You've only run out of money, because you've barely scratched the surface in modifications.

ChillPhatCat · Mar 23, 2010

Only reason I have pulleys is because they were already on the car when I bought it. I would have definitely saved the money and put it toward cams/springs/tune if I were doing the modding.

Port polish heads and intake and get cams and LTs

fast97gt · Mar 23, 2010

but but hes only wanting more pep out of it, i would go with cams, springs, and tune then see how you like it. if you want more the p&p the heads, or throw a set of LTs on it first before having head work done, (i.e. p&p) but the cams headers etc. is definitly good for 60hp

Jbauer · Mar 24, 2010

its just that i'm looking at spending almost 2800 for cams.. 600 for cams plus springs/retainers.. plus installation..just seems pretty steep. i could just supercharge or find a supercharger gently used for that price. i'm happy with the performance i get though to be honest..its just that lateley i've been feeling.. meh; whats a few more HP. i just want a little more.

as far as 4:10 gears.. i'm getting almost 240 Miles a tank mixed highway/city driving it pretty hard..thats the best i've seen on any of my friends mustangs; heck im spending the same money on gas i did when i got my jetta i really dont wanna risk it.

Longtubes are sounding like a good idea though. maybe long tubes and pulleys? both should aid in gas mileage and be relativley cheap im thinking.

When i get out of Army BMT i'm gonna spend some money on her.

ninjastang125 · Mar 24, 2010

2800? You could go with a trickflow and cms cam combo for that! you would gain a lot of pep this way.

fast97gt · Mar 24, 2010

First off thank you for your service. But there lies again, you have to pay to play. Fi is great if you drive everday, but if sits for any amount of time the seals in sc will dry and crack the enlies more problems

ChillPhatCat · Mar 24, 2010

$2800 to do cams? That sounds a BIT steep... is the shop planning to have the CEO of Ford do the work?

What next? have i really done everything?
