first of all, welcome!
second of all, get to a computer and post some pics!

i would start with a gt40 intake and maybe the gt40 heads if you feel up to the job, that would give you a nice bump in power.

welcome. it all depends on your budget. you've got all the small things already. you might want to change to long tubes, but u'll need a new h-pipe. gt40s will help, but you really should spend the extra buck on some edelbrock, trickflow, afr heads. you'll spend more, but you'll have a better head. Custom ground cam is great, but tfs stage 1 (stage 2 if you feel frisky but you'll HAVE to have a tune and may have clearance issues) steeda 19, ford racing e cam, are all great proven cams for our cars. Whatever heads you get, get an intake to match. Trickflow offers a complete top end kit, lots of guys running it, and loving it. what ever you do you should have it tuned, as you will be leaving performance on the table if you do not. good luck and above all else have some friggin fun with damned thing!

It also has a 3550 tremec transfer pro 5 . o shifter sway bar and supposedly nope am but it has a rough idle could that be the shorties thanks for all the info

 

[staind reality]

Sorry fat finger typing transfer is tremec 3550 and it has a rough idle kind of like i thought it might have a cam in it although i was told it didnt could that be the shorties or could it mean that it needs a tune already how much horsepower would good heads an all give me give me? Thanks again i m learning on the go And i will try to post pictures this weekend

ok guys i just did inspection and didnt pass because of dumps so what should i do. go to muffler shop and run pipes out back or get another muffler set up. i love the sound of the dumps. how much sound am i going to lose with pipes. i have flowmaster mufflers now.

 

[staind reality]

as for getting it tuned. does the sct tuner suffice or go to a performance shop and have them do it? any place good in kansas city area

you have to get a chip the hand held tuners will not work.

Welcome to the forums. The very first thing I would do is a full tune up (spark plugs, coolant flush, brake fluid change, trans fluid change, fuel filter, ect, ect) before anything else. Second thing I would look at is what suspension parts or bushings need replacing. Then worry about go fast parts.

i dont think losing the dumps will give you very much loss.

i have an off road h pipe with flowmasters, and its quite loud, but not too loud, its pretty close to perfect.

 

[staind reality]

OK thanks for suggestions guys. I think ur rite about suspemsion and fluid change
As for a tune, what chip is recommended by most customer I'm assuming there More than one. Thanks again

 

[staind reality]

There also seems to be a popping sound when taking off in first sounds like in rear. Possibly something wrong? And I see that brenspeed sells there tune using an sct3 tuner. Anyone used there tunes?

 

[staind reality]

I also c American muscle has the act tuner and a chip with bama tunes which I hear is good. What is different between chop and the handheld customer I'm gonna buy one today I think

 

[MustangMoser]

the poping may be a lower control arm in the rear or maybe a broken torque box, both r common. i've got the quarterhorse from moates, but i would NOT recommend that for a begginer, its a very complex tuner. you'd be good with a mail order chip probly, i think its called dirty dirty racing is very popular on here.

 

[staind reality]

Okay thanks guys i'll look underneath and see if i can see anything broken

Welcome!

There are a lot of ways to go with your car. I like the GT40's, but I went TrickFlow and So Far Ive been really happy. My mods are in my sig and to be honest, even with a TFS1 Cam, I need a tune. Anyway, Welcome and yeah get some pics!
