Alright here it goes. I have a 91 LX hatchback with a cobra intake, 65mm throttle, bigger MAF (can't remember size), under drives, shorties, off road H, MAC catback, subframes, 3.73, short throw shifter. Basically, all of the bolt on's. My question is, where do I go from here. It has a strong running 110k mile motor. Should I buy some heads and a cam. Maybe a small blower. I don't want to sound like an idiot, I'm not new to the mustang scene. I've just never had a car to this stage. I have thought about getting my lower ported, throwing on a set of AFR 165's and a cam and being done with it. The thing is it'll eventually get a both an HCI and a blower. I'm not sure what order I should do them in. I want something that will get right to where I need a cage. Mostly I just use this as a fun car, I cruise on Friday nights and screw around with it a little bit. Mostly I don't something that is a burden to drive. I already have that in my 67 Mustang coupe. That thing is a tempermental little SOB LOL, big cam, holley carb, all the good stuff. Well sorry for the rambling, I just need a little bit of direction

have you seen this months 5.0 mag? H/C/I (albeit mismatched IMO) produced way less power and alot less low rpm power than did a Novi 2000.

they used a performer rpm intake, and performer heads. i may be wrong here but i would think that they should have used the performer rpm heads that have the larger valves.
