What modification would I see the most gains out of next? I was thinking about injectors and mass air, and having it dynotuned. What else?

So far I have a 306 with roush world series heads, b303 cam, underdrive pulleys, typhoon upper and lower, 70mm egr, throttle body, fenderwell cold air, 373's short shifter, msd ignition box, coil, wires, mac shorty headers, off road h pipe, flowmaster cat back, 17" cobras, 255 walbro, kirban fpr, radiator hose kit, ford racing clutch, torque box's welded...

Should my plan be MSD distributor to complete ignition, injectors, maf, and tuning? Are subframe connectors worth doing for traction?

I can't think of anything else besides procharging it or stroker kit. I don't want any major projects right now. I'd like to continue with little things as far as possible.

What do you think? Any help is appreciated!

i think you answered you own ?.
if you don whant a major project i'm not going to suggest a hp turbo kit. even thow i think it would realy wake up your stang.
i would go the msd, injectors, maf, and tuning. tuning is a big deal.
also subframe connectors helped a lot on my buddys 94 cobra.

ummm yeah id suggest some subframes! They make a big improvement with unwanted flex in a stock mustang, yet alone one with a hci. The car with just feel so much better. maybe the mass air and injectors would be a good upgrade--im not too sure how much of a gain you'll see but maybe you need them with your combo? get it tuned.

a cheap power upgrade could be a nitrous setup if you're willing to go that route? or like russ said, a turbo kit? after the hci, well there isnt much left to do that i can think of besides a power adder or adding more cubes. maybe some porting.

So in that case, I'll do the distributor and subframe connectors.

When I go to do my MAF, injectors, and tuning. What size injectors are reccomended on a N/A motor that wants the capability of turbo or SC down the road?

And do aluminum driveshafts make a large difference?

Thanks for your help!

aluminum driveshafts do help. we put one on that 94 cobra and i had one made for my v8 ranger project. it helps in that it's lighter and it trans power better to the wheels (takes lesspower to move it thus making more power to the ground) but i don't think i would go so far as say it make a large difference.

So seperatly they don't make a great world of difference, but with all of them:

Distributor
24 lb. Injectors
MAF tuned for cold air
Tuning
Aluminum Driveshaft

I should see a large difference with them all together? Thanks for everyones help! I guess I got some items left before I have to drop in a blower!

24's for a n/a motor will be just fine.if you decide to boost it then your gonna need atleast 30's or 36's.i got 30's in my motor right now with my turbo.so far so good but im looking for some 36's for now.getting a tune will be the biggest gain you will see
