First mods

aight guys...newbie here has a dilema..As u know i got a 98 Mustang GT Black on Black...Its bone stock and iam guessing it has around 215-225HP.....After i got done payin my bills last month i had an extra 1200 dollars to spend and i dumped it into the bank because i had no idea what to do with it...I plan on getting full intake,,exhuast, headers and pullies and iam estimating i will get around 40 HP gain with everything.....is this a wise desision???

if you have 1200 dollars to spend i would take you car to get the heads ported and polished, in a car like that youll see a huge gain. and go with a exuast as well.

how much of a gain will i recieve from getting them ported and polished ...5-10HP???..ive been looking at a Borla exhaust system for 1100 which would leave me 100 dollars for an intake plus i can always throw in 50 more bucks and get a BBK unit which will suit me well

well dont know how much im helpin... lol but ur car had 225 hp stock and 285 ft/lbs of torque. the port and polish doesnt sound like a bad idea to me tho. but i dont know the exact gains youll get from the different things so dont lean on what i say to much

Gears. 3.73s would probably suit you best. I prefer/suggest 4.10s for naturally aspirated 99+s. But, I find that 3.73s are better for the SN95s. If an SN95 guy knows otherwise..feel free to interject. I personally wouldn't waste my money on just a fancy exhaust system..you'll probably gain 5-10hp with that exhaust..and you probably won't even notice it.

If you can, find someone with 99+ heads and do a head swaps. that will net you alot of power, and while your at it, swap the cams with something aftermarket.

Gears and PI heads would be what I'd do.

my friend put in a cam, rockers, valve springs and had his stalk heads port/polished and got about 50hp for around $1500. im sure that you could do the same for cheaper.
