My 91 GT has an offroad pipe, dumped Flowmasters, underdrive pulleys, Alum Driveshaft, 3.73s, 160,000 miles, T-5 and runs decently. I was reading about upgrading the cold air intake (which is stock save for a K&N) and am wondering about bigger MAF and injectors. Is this mod worth the money on an engine I plan to keep stock? (not going to mess with heads or cam anytime soon...) What are other recommended underhood mods for performance??? Oh, forgot the AC delete...

thanks.

bigger injectors are not needed on a stock engine. you could get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. and dont worry about getting a cold air intake because they dont do much, if anything. just remove the air silencer from your stock air box and it will work just fine. ac delete will free up some power. also getting underdrive pullies helps...but hurts your cooling and charging systems (kind of a trade off). you can also bump your timing up a few degrees to get better throttle response and power.

If you do any intake mods, I suggest MAF, TB and upper/lower intake. These will give the best gains and can be bought used to save some money!

yeah, you can just get a Tmoss ported lower intake and gain a lot of power. get a 65mm throttle body if you get one and maybe a 73mm mass air meter
