Question about next mod?
 
I have a 00 mustang gt. I have an o/r hpipe, 40 series flowmasters, bbk cai, bbk underdrive pulleys, diablo sport tuner and 373 gears. I was thinking a 70mm throttle body and an upper intake plenium. I was reading a lot about how it was a waste of money? I want stage II cams but i read that an intake is suggested for that so i didn't know whether or not to install the throttle body and plenium b4? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a TB and plenum setup on my car and it was an ok mod. If I had not gotten the parts for so cheap used, I would not of installed them on my car. You money is better spent on cam's for sure. Though without headers you will most likely be better off with like a comp cams 262 cam's. I would do long tube headers then get cam's, but thats just me if I was staying n/a.

You can always spray the car and make it much faster for the same price.

what kind of mid-pipe would i need to run for the long tube headers? Also, i was thinking about getting a coil pack next. Doing a lot of reading and they seem to be a good mod. You know any thing about those?

long tubes = shorty mid pipe

Coil packs are a waste of money. Unless you are making enough power to blow the spark out (450+ rwhp) you do not need them. As for long tubes you would need like he said a shorty mid pipe made for long tubes as they are longer then the stock manifolds. Don't waste your money on that other stuff that does nothing.

Once you get long tubes on the car you can add a nice set of cams since the car will be able to breath enough to warrant them.

underdrive pullys are worth the 100 or so you will spend on them but I would go with a nice set of springs to give it an aggresive stance
