build plan questions

[mickey]

The car is a 1998, gt, automatic transmission.*

Basic bolt on's witch ones work witch don't*
-Cai.
-Throttle body/upper plenum.
-Shorty headers.
-O/r mid pipe.
-Cat back exhaust.

more in depth engine.
-Pi heads and cams from an f150 with a mustang pi intake.
-Or more aggressive a/m cams with a pi intake, stock heads.

push button power, I read you don't have to upgrade the fuel system but I want to anyway.
-Is e85 a good idea or just stick with premium?
-witch injectors and fuel pump should I go with?
-how much, i read you can do 150hp shot. I want to push it to the limit?

Transmission/differential
-Is a valve body worth it or just do a shift kit or a j mod?
-at this point is a converter worth it, if so what stall?*
-what rear gear, I was thinking 4:10?

Chassis
-lowered a little*
-sub frame connectors, weld in, who builds a good set?
-upper control arms, who builds a good set?

goal for the car is to build a drag car so if there is anything I missed or don't need feel free to give some advise anything productive will appreciated.**

Tb plenum
Long tubes mid pipe and Cat back

Pi heads 270 pi intake

Do you have a tuner or want to have a dyno tune.... stick with pump

Spray it till it blows

Jmod is a starting point but a good shift kit is not a bad idea I am running a Fairbanks shift kit.

4200 stall and 4.30 gears with 28 in slicks

I was gonna have it dyno tuned when I get enough mods but though about getting generic tunes to help with the transmission.

Assuming 270 are cams could you elaborate who makes them?

 

[D3VST8R96GT]

Comp cams

Cms makes good cams as well as modular head shop has options.

Is e85 available in your area? Even then I would wait..... its extra cost for little benefit

I live in suburbs of chicago there is probably 50 gas stations in a 10 mile radius of my house 1 of them has to have e85 lol. 4200 stall and 4:30 gears seem excessive I was thinking 3,000.

Definitely at least do the PI heads/cam/intake. To be honest, anything you do to the motor (short of forced induction) without getting rid of the NPI heads is going to be pretty pointless.
