Ok well I am buying the bolt ons little by little but don’t think I no all there really is out there. So here is my list and feel free and actually please do, add anything I might have forgotten to put. I no there has to be more but please
dont add the pi swap cus I need all bolt ons that are sc freindly since that is coming all so. Just want to get this little stuff out of the way first. Then the sc will come goal is to have all this lil stuff done my jan 1st cus bonus check is all sc and get that mid jan.

Gears 3.73................have 3.55 but want the 3.73
H pipe...........placed the order today
Headers
Cams
Pulleys
Chip
Throttle body............check have it
Intake plenum...........check have it
Exhaust.............check have it
Intake...........check have it
tko 600 tranny

 

Not a bad list BUT you won't even feel a difference from your 3:55's to the 3:73's.Go with 4:10's or your just wasting money in my opinion.

 

after doing bolt ons and adding up what i had in it, i with i did a power adder in the first place. i guess school isnt cheap.

 

Either 3.90 or 4.10 gears.

 

this cant be every thing tho guys what other bolt ons am i missing on my list so i can look into gettin them... i want it alllll lol

 

Stage 2 heads..That will be pretty much all the bolt ons, next would be either SC or nitrous but i would rebuild it with forged internals, or run it on some low boost or shot.

 

go with a supercharger.

 

Forget about the small stuff,redo the block then add SC. Our engines have the lest gain per dollar spent until you get your heads changed plus lower the compression for the SC that equals a new engine. It all depends on what you want to do but add up everything and you will see. Brand new SC $4500est on stock 96-98 block = 300hp < 4v $4000 est = 305. Looks like you are planning on spending alot of money so look at all your options.

 

horse power and torque mean nothing untill you can effectivly transfer it to the road....so first off you must get Maximum motorsports xl subframe connectors...drive shaft (performance driveshaft technologies)....a better suspension set up if you dont already have one, some nice wide tires on the back...like 275's or above. that will help a little.

only other things for horse power would be like Port and polish, nice heads....some good internals and run NOS.

P-51 intake manifold would give you some nice punch.:clap:

oh yeah and a nice diff, and electric water pump.

Power to weight ratio = quicker car ....so bolt on a nice light hood and dont forget the hood pins =) lol

 

Everything you do that did not come with your Saleen or it is not a Saleen part just lowers the value of you stang. If I were to mod your car I would try to get a hold of Saleen rep and ask how can you add more power and still keep it Saleen maybe make it a 351 and make it offical with them.

 

if you plan on selling your car than you can't do anymods to it unless its from saleen and even that could still hurt the stang since it didn't come with it from Saleen. If anyone plans on modding their car, it will hurt the value or add no value to it. that's a price we all have to pay and i don't mine paying it. My car is worth, before modding it, 19,000 bucks, but now that i modded it with the 5.4 and stuff, it's not worth that, but i really don't care. i plan on keeping it and if i want another one, i'll have 2 stangs.

If you don't beleive me about not adding or hurting value, take a nice stang with a nitrous bottle in the back or novi2000 sitting under the hood, to a dealership and see what they tell you. They wont give you crap for it.

 

ok i fully under stand what u are saying and i plan on keeping the car for a bit.. prob about 3 or four years.. after that i will still get about 10 to 15 for it.. will be sc and all the goodies will be on it so def will get that for it..plus will still only have by then about 50k on the engine which is still good...besides what better to blow your money on then your car lol.. which i do alot with this car.......so anyway for the bolts ons this wasnt a post asking whats good for more car or how to keep the value it was whattt do theyy makkee for thiss car AS FAR BOLT ONS ARE CONCERNED..........my list cant be all they make cus i do plan on going all out with this car goal is 600 to 700 hp and tq..

 

Like i said, you pretty much posted them on what you have or going to buy, besides better heads. other than that, SC. If you want to spend mad cash, then get the 5.0 stroker kit, stroke it with forged internals, bigger cams, better heads, then run mad boost on it.

 

now are heads and headers the same thing or dif. and if they are dif what is the diference

 

I'd say move that car and get yourself an 03-04 Cobra. Or buy a late model GT and build an all out race engine. Your going to need a ton of cash to get to 600/700HP. Frankly the Saleens do nothing for me. I'd take a built GT or Cobra over one of those show queens anyday. Don't waste your $$$ on devalueing your Say-queen.Just sell it to a collector (LOL)and get building your dream car. I hope this doesn't sound to hostile. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

 

The heads sit on the left and right side of the car. The intake is centered and the air from it flows to the heads, through the valves into the combustion chamber and then exits throught the exhaust valves into the headers and out the exhaust. the headers sit to the outside of your heads.

I have been there done that. I had an SVO with 400hp, 4banger with turbo, I did alot of work to it and when it came time to sell I was not going to get my money back. I put it back to stock and sold all the parts that I could which worked out better. If I had to do it again I would of keeped it stock as that is what will win a car show. If you dont know about me click on this link http://media.putfile.com/VENOMROOTS for what I am currently doing. I will get a Shelby later on or another special edition stang and keep it stock with low miles. The difference is that I dont plan on selling Venom . Do not I repeat do not think that those mods are adding anything as far as value, all you are doing is lowering it. Watch any BJ auctions and the rods with alot of mods do not fetch anywhere near the money that a stock special production car fetches and the rods that do are made by well known builders. Like mentioned above sell your Saleen make some money buy a 98 GT for 3-5k add the saleen spoilers if you like and you will have thousands left for all the stuff you want to do. The other option will be to keep it a Saleen and add only Saleen parts. Some people dont care which is fine its their money but dont be a fool in thinking you are making your Saleen more valuable. Its all up to you but youll remember me when you sell your half Saleen half (your name) stang and are disappointed.

 

venom is correct in large part but the sale probably won't end up at auction where all that would matter. The sale will probably be a private party face to face deal. Mods still don't much help a cars value, most of the time they hurt it.

If you want to sell that car...ever, then don't mod it. It's wasting money in a big way. If you're going to get a hotter ride later, do so and keep what you have like you have it until then.

Venom: Nice video. Music timing was well played on. Couple of spelling errors you might not care about... most glaring was toward the end "... Ford should of made" should be "... Ford should have made"

 

Thanks that was the wrong vid I have the vid with correct spelling but putfile is a pain to remove vids. Dannyb also noticed it as you guys have a good eye for spelling and grammar.

 

just being picky... looks nice though. What year car did you start with?

 

Dont want to get but its a 98 SVO was an 85.
