I said longtubes, I like the new seats idea, and those are close to what I like. But I don't like the fact that it looks like u have to use a racing harness/seatbelt. I wish there was a mix between those and factory

im leaning heavily toward longtubes now
so with stage 2 cams and LTs what kinda gains am i looking at?
The stage 2 cams will be the majority of the power, prolly around 25RWHP with your 5 speed. The LT's will just be more efficient if you get the 75mm TB/Plenum. My tuner who specializes in stangs, think I will get at least 10RWHP because of my longtubed and my full exhaust.
blower's are just too much. I'm doing the same thing. 75 mm TB/Plenum and Saleen U/D pulley's. Also gears, and a ****load automatic tranny upgrades. I would do cams but I don't think they're worth a decent amount of money, since you have to take apart some of the engine. Also, with stage 2 you have to get new springs, and again, if you ever do get a blower, thats when I would get cams, that way you can truley max out the power of the cams.
+'s & -'s
Blower = Constant wear on engine and constant power
N/A cams + Dope(nitrous) = Power when you need it
If you got blower cams, they will not do much UNTILL you get a blower. If you got n/a cams, you'll see an instant increase in power, and help alot if you go sprayed.
I had a tuff time decided which way to go. So i went cheapo and plan on dope.

im not getting a blower, i decided, i dont want to worry about that crap. I dont want to floor it, and wonder if im gonna spin a bearing/snap a belt/throw a rod. or whatever, i drive this car 360 out of 365 days a year, and i think n/a is perfect for that, even tho it may be less $ per hp, it wont be when somone else blows a motor because their running to lean with too much boost or whatever!! too much of a head ache. besides. stage 2 cams sound SICK
thats why
thats why

And I pretty much have it where I want it speed wise, I mean, cams would be great, but If Im going to sell it next year, well, hell no. We'll see I guess. I just dont what to buy a blower and get stuck with a 7k dollar car with 5k worth of blower crap that breaks... :wallbash:

by this time next year ill have Modular Powerhouse Stage 2 1/2 High Flow Heads
and ill wait a lil while to get an intake for not tb and plenum are good
Yea, Id shy away from the p51 (but you know why already) Tims heads will certainly give your car a kick in the nuts. The only thing keeping me away from a cobra is another damn car payment, which I am not going to want after I pay this pig off. We'll see I guess....my dad was always asking how to get 300 rwhp out of it



Get the longtubes, watch that damn video if you have to again. YOU NEED LONGTUBES
