after talking with some guys on another site i might be putting cams on my list too.

 

FWIW, I would spend a little more and get forced induction, or something. The cams don't yield the HP gains for the money IMHO.

However, if you do go for the cams, make sure to check clearance, and there is no PTV contact. I have pictures of my old motor after 278 Comp Cams had their way with my motor. #4 valve bent, and #8 broke off and went for a ride inside the motor.

 

Boy was that fun times. On a related note, I still dont think that was really a problem with the cams Rich.. I think that was an installer error, like they didnt get timed right.

 

Yes, that was a big part. Also remember that the pistons in mine were not dished. Hence the need to check clearances.

 

Its great to know I'm not alone.
My recomendation would be tires then gears.

 

Yeah, I know a lot of guys that do it.

I think I'm going to wait until next season to get everthing, then I can do tires, wheels, suspension, and new tunes all at once and get it over with. The only problem with that is controling my child like urges to buy parts for the car.

 

after reading a bunch about the 2v engine i'm really getting upset that it seems to be limited to just over 300rwhp.

I'm thinking i should just save up for some 4v heads and intake

 

I am the owner of a 2001 Mustang Gt and am currently on my way home from Ramadi Iraq and am looking for ideas to modify my stang. any ideas would be great

 

to the site Brian. Thanks for serving

Read through this thread and you'll get some great ideas. Any questions, feel free to ask!

 

Double post

 

All depends on what you're looking to do really.

It seems like the most popular first mods are exhausts and lowering springs.

Be careful though: once you start, it's really hard to stop.
