Ok say I have approx. $4000 here's my plan. Full Bassani Xhaust, tri-ax shifter, FRPP 3.73, C&L Plenum, Accufab 75mm TB, Steeda Underdrive Pulleys, P51 Intake, Steeda Cold Air Intake, and if I have enough Eibach Sportlines and Baer Brakes. Any suggestions? Can I do those things with that amount of money? Also I was considering getting the stock heads ported. Where do u take a car to get cylinder heads ported??? Thanks

With another $1500 I have saved I plan on new tailights, corbeau Cr1 racing seats, and I know ya'll hate this but maybe Streetglow blue neon, also maybe a new set of wheels or those neat quarter panel things on MT and maybe window tint? Lemme know but really this is just about the performance mods not my visual preferences.

 

sorry to say but for $4G unless you do alot of the work yourself you won't be able to afford all of that. Head work is some serious $$$$ from what I know. Bear brake kits are like 1500-2000 unless you just do calipers which is kind of silly. But I'd do as much of that from the list that you can. It all sounds good. You'll have to let us know what you actually end up doing if you can get it all done you'll have one fast steed

 

yuo can save alot of money by not buying those name brand parts, or the most expensive ones at least.

like the bassiani exhuast you can just use mac or hooker heads and a used off road h-pipe or x-pipe, you can use a cheaper catback such as mac, magnaflow etc.

you can use the ford racing TB instead of the exspensive accufab one and so on. but other than that it sounds like a plan.

 

Dude, honestly, skip EVERYTHING if you have 4 grand. Nothing should go on the car unless its made by Vortech or Paxton, but thats just my opinion. If I had 4 grand to just blow on my car, it would get a supercharger and nothing else. Dont waste it on bolt ons and especially dont buy the P51 until you are either A) Supercharged or B) Running ported heads and new cams. Just supercharge it man. Be done with the big stuff first, then buy suspension and intake stuff.

 

It's like listening to God himself speak! I'm with him.

 

If you plan to stay N/A, then I would say that is a nice setup for sure. Also plan to turn some wrenches if that is your money limit, which most of the things you listed you can do yourself. Exhaust is such an opinion thing, so I'm not gonna touch that one. It is nice to have some "show" with your "go" so I would say tint is a nice addition you mentioned. You can save some money by getting a different catback setup, and all also. Don't forget to get some sticky tires if you plan to get all that as well, you will not get far if you keep spinning the tires.

 

Bluethunder are you wanting to run faster at the track or on the street? Or both?
Do you have a specific goal you want to achieve such as 13 second or 12 second car? Tell us what you want and we can give you ideas on how to get there.
Some of the items you listed such as ported heads are very pricey for the net gains. You can get a 5 speed GT into the low 13's high 12's with just gears, drag radials, pulley's, exhaust and a K & N filter. The plenum and TB are really ony going to net you 8-10 hp. Pullies 5-8, good X pipe and catback 15-20, timing advance 10 -12 hp, cams 20 -25hp.
It's more about suspension , gears and tires than power.
My biggest drop in e.t came from gear, drag radials and torque converter not any power mod's. Tell us where you want to be.

 

just to let you know i called laurel mustang about CR1 seats and the tech guy said they wont fit inside our model year mustang. the upper bolsters are too wide. yeah if i had 4k i would get a better auto tranny and try to get a procharger and worry about the rest later since its more affordable for my
E-3 pay

 

I suggest you do alot of research before you spent your money on things you don't need man! Do some research and learn your car! Those 4g's your planning on spending will only get you half the stuff you want! Unless of course you know how to install everything which will save you alot of $$$$! Do some research and you'll be happy you did! That the best advice I can give you!

Go with the supercharger I've wasted about that much on all the crap on my car and I'm still pulling 14.4 on the track. Get the procharger kit or vortech. I wish I did that when I first had the money.

 

What about this? Procharger, 42 pound injectors, Full bassani exhaust, Frsh tune, Re-calibrated MAF, Tri-Ax shifter, FRPP 3.73 gears, Eibach Springs later to be replaced with a griggs super street system not for a while though. I know this is more than $4000 but I maybe can get 5000 or 6000. Hows that sound?

 

I am hoping to run 11,s EVENTUALLY! With the mods i listed just above i want to run low 12,s.

 

Here's a way to go about getting to the 11's.
Build up the rear end
gears
clutch
exhaust (x pipe and catback)
100 shot of nitrous
slicks and skinnies
Tune
11.5-11.8 at 112 mph
If you go with nitrous you don't need heads, cams or intake. Although a Bullitt intake would be nice if you have the funds.
I race with a buddy who just ran 11.56 two weeks ago.
with those mods he also ran a 12.98 all motor that day.
this would be the most inexpensive route. If you don't want to go with nitrous then I would substitute a Vorteh kit for the nitrous. Ported heads and cams will only add around 40 rwhp to your set up n/a unless you build a forged bottom end that can rev. to 7,ooo then you can go with stage 2 cams and run high 11's all motor. I have several buddies running very low 12's all motor on stock blocks but you will have to go with very steep gears and weight reduction to do this. If you want to keep your car more streetable I'd go with a power adder.

 

Well thanks to madmatt i have found a great idea setup for my stang. The mongoose kit supercharger, FRPP 3.73's, Tri-ax shifter, and bassani exhaust components. It all looks great but lemme know what ya'll think.

 

Skip the bolt on's and go with a supercharger. www.modularpowerhouse.com sells a complete kit that comes with a vortech, 42lb injectors, 90mm Lightning mass air flow sensor, a SVT focus fuel pump, spark plugs, and a tune that is second to None! You will get wayyyyy more power going this route then you will with bolt ons.

 

If you are planning on building a tough street car, Id go with the 1.7 or 2.2 Kenne Belle. It makes instant boost as soon as you step on the pedal you are getting into boost. Also with this positive displacement blower, you dont need to purchase a sepreate intake.

 

ohsobad........you know what youre talkin about......please don't buy anything unless you consider a kenne bell first.....they're the best mod ever... of course if you want to build a track car then that's not the best possible option but for a street monster it's totally unbeatable.....

now i dunno what car you have, as it's not in your sig but just one example of what a kenne bell kit will do is on 96-04 gts......full boost by 2000 rpm,

+74 ft/lbs and +106 rwhp @ only 6 psi. (non-intercooled)
+135 ft/lbs and +160 rwhp @ only 9 psi. (intercooled)

There's a GIGANTIC wealth of information available at www.kennebell.net

check it out.

 

I personally like the headporting route.A set of cams and exhaust matched with the head work will give around 400 HP.If you go S/C later on,it's not money wasted.

 

i can't believe that you would waste 4 g's on 50 horsepower. Get a supercharger and then you will have money well spent and will feel it alot more. I'm surprised that you didn't even think of a supercharger unless you already have one.

 

A ported set of heads and custom cams would probably not make even 300 to the wheels on a stock 4.6. The cost of those two items would be half of the cost of a blower.
