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.

[GTStang]

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.
