Geez!!! It's only money guys.....what are you saving it for???

Anyway, Gears and a tune are the best I've done so far. I did a 430 gear which is really fun. I have gotten in the low 13's at 101. I believe I will be taching out on the big end once I dip into the 12's. I also broke an axle with MT drag radials and 240 rwhp.

bypass all the bolt-ons and go straight to a supercharger. mods seem to love boost. gears are your best bang for your buck though. you won't be making any more power but it will sure feel like a different car. if you want to stick with bolt-ons i'd go:

gears (4:30 if manual trans)
cat-back and x or h pipe
remove silencer from airbox or go cold air intake
underdrive pulleys
good tune

there doesn't seem to be much love for mod motors on this board. you may want to stop over at www.modularfords.com for some more ideas.

Geez!!! It's only money guys.....

not everyone has it.....rich ass.....haha j/k

honestly though id go with bypass of the bolt ons as well, go for the supercharger. i went with the bolt ons and now i have the supercharger so i def regret going with the bolt ons...... except for the exhaust.

mod motors aren't much for displacement. power adders make the fun factor go through the roof.

In hindsight, I wish I would have just saved up for the supercharger. I'll get it eventually. It's just hard to wait!
