Like the title says my budget for the motor is a/b $2500.The car: it's an auto w/ 4.10s/shiftkit. It has less than 80k miles, and loud muffs. What it needs: I'm going to get an X pipe, b/c I love that sound (my last stang had an H and it sounded nice, but I always associate that sound w/ the fox cars). I have a ticking lifter (at least I hope that's what it is -someone said that when I told them a/b the noise).My ideas: First thought is h/c/i, since I've got valve issues anyway. But since EVERYTHING is stock, maybe I should do the Holley Systemax 1 kit (just the lower intake and cam for <$900), 24# injectors/calibrated mass air meter, 65mm tb and a valvejob?Maybe instead of showing my ignorance, I should stop typing and let someone that knows what they're talking a/b jump in...Oh, yeah. I know it's gonna come up: my goal for the car is just for it to be a fun, reliable DD w/ some muscle to back up the 315s that I'm planning on buying. For bragging rights I'd like it to be close to 300hp, but mainly I just want it to rumble and scare honda kids. I'm not looking to race any LS cars.</blockquote>
