Ok so here's the deal I have my 2001 Bullitt with 23,000 mile son it currently (manual trans. of course) I have the following mods so far (performance):
1.Magnaflow Catback system 2.Mac Offroad Prochamber 3.SCT Xcalibrator 2 Tune 4.K&N Filter 5.Air Silencer Removed (I know it's does nothing be quiet!) LOL So my question is what is th enext step for my performance with my baby Bullitt I know gears are good choice, but besides gear swhich i'm getting next X-mas what should my next mod be? I have a moderate amoutn of money but lets not go crazy. I can't afford cams a blower or nitrous or anything else crazy i'm talkin basic bolt ons etc. What is the next step in this performance puzzle??? ![]()

well since you're a bullitt a TB and plenum is outta the question since you got the bullitt intake
![]() maybe Longtube headers? or mid lengths? do you HAVE to pass emission inspections?

CAMS!
If you want some noticeable power and a nice sound then get some cams. Itll probably cost you 1,000 bucks in the end though. If you just have like $400 then id say buy a TB/Plenum combo. Headers will probably cost almost as much as cams would cost when you add all the labor. Id just save some money and get cams. 30-40+hp peak increase isnt bad.

cams and gears, otherwise focus on your crappy stock suspension. Look into some RLCA's from Maximum Motorsports or maybe a Panhard bar. You'll really like the benefits you get from every suspension upgrade. Stock stang suspension sucks, even bulllits have pretty much the same crud.
Drop in a set of FRPP C springs or some H&R super sports. Whatever you do, do it right and don't cheap out. Get the good stuff. |

Nitrous, its cheaper than you think and it will last. Long tubes will cost alot to install. Gears are pretty cheap to do. (For a car
) |

that brings a good point. Don't use Poly-urethane bushings at both ends of the upper control arms. They'll bind and worsen things. There's a spherical bearing available for the diff end which will help that and make things better. (I think steeda and MM both have the spherical bearing in their lists)

I say get a MGW or Steeda Tri-Ax short throw shifter. It will make the car much more fun to drive. $179.00 and easy install that you can do yourself! If not that go with some suspension mods.
