What to do first on my stock 95 5.0 conv.????

I have a 95 gt with cat back exhaust and eibach springs when I bought it. Hate the body kit but I wanna put my money into the motor any good suggestions on what to do first to get the most bang for my buck?? I found an explorer intake for cheap is that a good idea or not? I need help

Head, cam, intake and gears. Really other than the cat back and a set of gears an H,C,I is the only way you are going to get anything real out of the motor. budget build would be the explorer top end ( gt40p) with a trick flow stage 1 cam other supporting mods and a tune. you can go with a matched top end kit from guys like trick flow, holley, etc. intake alone really isn't going net you much. gears really improve the "feel" of the car of the line, the car pulls harder than it does with the stock taller gears. The heads are imo are one of the biggest things on the list,once you get a great set of good flowing heads match them with a good intake and cam. plenty of options.

What are you looking to spend? HCI is roughly $2,500, rocker arms , throttle body , bigger injectors, MAF, headers, H or X pipes

Gears , 70mm throttle body, cai, don't not waste your money on pulleys , when I had my car dynoed they took my UD pulleys off and put my stock ones back on and I actually dynoed 2rwhp more with stock pulleys!

Stock is 60mm. But you will loose torque if you just upgrade to 70mm because the velocity of air you take in decreases. Don't swap tb unless you do mass air and intake at the minimum. I wouldn't recommend upgrading until you swap heads.
