Hi everyone. I just picked up my first mustang. I want to make it a nice street car that can run some autocross/ hpde events. Its a 97 GT in the rare Autumn Orange color. I bought it with some mods. The prevous owner did not know too much about it so ive had to do some detective work. It does have BBK longtube headers, BBK Catted H pipe, Magnaflow Magnapack catback, BBK intake, Spec Clutch, Steeda Tri-ax shifter, and from what I can tell a PI motor and trans. Probably going to start a build thread too. Really excited to tear into it over the winter. Plans are upgrade suspension, fix body damage, cobra front bumper and headlights, adjustable clutch cable, wheels and tires, bucket seat, and install radio. Im sure ill find more to do as well. Here are some pics.

Welcome to the forums!

Letting you know now....your cars intake manifold is restriction #1. Its an aftermarket intake known as a Dorman replacement part and its know to kill engine potential. Seek out a ford stock pi intake.
