You are probably tired of answering the same question, but I cannot find the right answer for me. So I thought I would solicit your advice. I am trying to finish up any cost effective engine modifications before I move on to suspension modifications.

After tomorrow, my engine modifications will be:
Steeda Full Cold Air Induction
SCT X-2 Bamachips CMCV 93 Race Tune
Steeda CMCV
Steeda UDP

What am I missing?

I will not consider due to mainly cost:
Long Tube Headers($1800 installed???)
Electric Water Pump($500, a big maybe)
Forced Induction($6k+ installed)
Cams($1k plus install)
Throttle Body(no gains)

AFTER the engine modifications considering some driveline parts like:
Coastal or Shaftmasters Draftshaft
FRPP 4.10s
MGW Short Shifter (will it work with the 4" shaft?)

Can someone post links of exhaust modification dynos?
I heard and is it still the case that exhaust mods(sans LTs) are purely audible?
Including the FRPP X-pipe or the Pypes OR x-pipe with Midmufflers?


Thanks again for the ideas.

You can for sure get the long tube hearders and installation for a lot cheaper than $1800!

search obx headers....if you still have your stock mmuflers on,you could always get summit off road h-pipe.easy to swap,and worth a lil hp.

I just read the MMFF article about LT Headers, only 2hp???

wow, $1800 for headers installed!!! I only $1200 in parts on my 04 Cobra and have over 450rwhp.

I miss the look of the bodystyle, but don't miss dollar/hp rating..

The gears and driveshaft was probly the best mod i done. As far as the shifter hitting I dont know, my hurst dont rub.

Guys have been going with OBX headers, no problems with them yet from what I hear. They are very very affordable. I went with JBA LT's and Catted H for 900 and did the install myself.

+1 on the obx headers. they come with 2 different offroad h pipes also. $500 to your door.
I also hear brenspeeds nsr cams are great.
cant possibly go wrong with 4.10 gears

Do you have any dyno numbers for your mods?
