The Ride:
2000 Mustang GT
Street Smart Design Cold Air Intake
Stock Spolier Moved Back
2003 OEM Cobra Rims
Pro 5.0 Short Throw Shifter
Black Headlights w/ Clear corners
Hypertech Tune
OEM Mach 1 Chin Spoiler
3 piece OEM Mach 1 Grill Delete
4.10 FRPP Gears
BBK Long Tube Exhaust
Mac 2 piece O/R H Pipe
Mac Pro Dumps
Spec 2 Clutch and Pressure Plate
Solid clutch quadrent


I signed up for this forum to find out what modifications I'll need inorder to swap in the VHT stage 2 cams. I have the exhaust covered, and I know i'll need new valve springs. But What computer upgrades and intake modifications will I need to make for the cams? Will i need a larger plenum and tb, or are we talking aftermarket manifold?

My roomate just picked up a 99 GT with comp cams and 4.30's so I must be faster I plan on getting an SCT eXcaliper with a mail order tune (Might get a dyno tune if it's running to lean or rich on the dyno) of course lowering the 4x4 beast, and a new set of tires is in the new future (As well as the silver FR500's 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the back with the lip, from this site of course)

here are some pics just because:

nope, I had been meaning to sign up, but been forgeting. Plus i just wrecked my car saturday, and not for sure if im getting it back. If i dont i know i am getting another mustang, gotta love em. Oh I'm not for where bouts you live in Louisville, but at the K-mart on Taylorsville and Breckinridge there is a mustang car show the first saturday of each month, just to let you know. Ive seen some pantera's up there, gt40's, shelbys, shelby cobra, just a whole lot of nice cars. its sponsored by Derby City Mustang Club. Once i feel like unleashing the beast, my 73 mustang, I'll be up there, but a little to chilly for me to take out, and plus working on it some.

You will need some sort of computer reprogrammer after you upgrade to stage II cams. Also a 75mm TB/Plenum isnt really required, but you will show much better gains with the cam swap.

Car looks great minus the 4x4 off-road package.
