I will have about $2000 to spend on my mustang and want to build up the engine. What is a good set of heads, intake, TB size, and a speed density friendly cam, also any other reccommendations. I have been thinking about the holley kit, but i don't know if it would be better to mix a few different brands.


I don't need name brands, the typhoon intake would work fine for me especially if it saves me money and works to make a good combo.


so what would be a good HCI and the TB to match. Remember i have speed density so any SD guru's that know of a cam that will work let me know.

Thanks

speed density needs a special cam but they do exist. Other than that heads and intake are no problem.

What would be a good combo. Should i do a kit, or should i piece it together. Maybe AFR's, with a typhoon intake and 70 or 75mm TB. Should i get bigger injectors? Are AFR's better than holley or trick flow? Any help would be great.
