K, at www.steed.com they have a power pack special for everything I want and/or need. Includes Cold Air Kit , Hi-Flow XPipe , Steeda GT Exhaust , Dragon Plenum , and Underdrive Pulleys . It costs $1,419 before shipping. Then I could go on stage3 and get all the same stuff. Which setup would sound and work better on my stang? The Steeda or the stage3 setup?

The best thing I can tel you is shop around and price all the parts individually from various vendors. You can probably get better than 1400 for all of that. Check out our parts specials forum here, alot of our sponsors carry these same parts and you can get some deals through discounts from this site

$1400 seems pretty high for that stuff. Definiltey check with other manufactures directly. All steeda does is have other companies make thier parts for the anyways.

K&n, c&l, mac, six of one half a dozen of the other. cai's have to be the biggest ripoff in aftermarket auto parts. $150 for all of about $30 in parts.

Pullies might be right behind it $100 for about under $15-20 in parts. At the end of the day.....you still have to buy new belts.

order the pullies from steeda or wherever you can get cheapest. Find you a good deal on a K&N FIPK kit and then save for a custom tune. Trust me, it will be worth it. I'll find the dyno thread we did for a friends 02 gt that as outstanding and post it for you.

I forgot it was a 4.6. Definiltey get the pulleys from Steeda. Most other companies out there sell a piggy back style crank pulley, where as Steeda sells a one piece design.

Only thing about Steeda is that a lot of their stuff I hear is refurbished... Not too keen on that kind of stuff. Auto Zone screwed me over on a referbished batery a while back...

Where's a good place to get MAC Prochambers at? Eventually, I want to turn my car into a Roush Stage 2. (I like the 2's look more than a 3's. The body kit looks better imo.) So i'll need the side exit exhaust from them, which is expensive as all heck...
