So... I'm going to a mustang parts place in June which will have great deals and I am stuck between these things that I can get for a good price...

If you were me, would you get????

Ford "C" Lowering springs (they do what about 1.5ish front and back) or

75 mm Accufab TB and matching plenum... just satin, no polished.

I'm stuck between what to do here... I want that nasty wheel gap to be gone, but I also want to add a couple more ponies... I'm stumped.

And dont say both, cause I can't do that with other priorities...

Voted TB/Plenum, to complement your cams.

Who cars if it's a little high, as long as its fast?

Or who cares if it's a little slower, as long as it looks nice?

Guess it depends what side of the fence you are on.

I voted springs, because you can get a PP TB and plenum for like $250 down the road. Car will look 100xs better lowered

I'm definitely on the side of the fence that favors go before show. I could care less about my car looking better if it doesn't actually perform better to me.

Lowering springs are subjective too, though. Just because it lowers your car doesn't mean it'll improve handling around turns. Some spring applications can lower your car a tad w/ modification and still allow you to get a good launch.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
