Alright im new to the board and new to mustangs..i picked up a 90 5.0 LX Notch and i was wondering what header and exhast combo is good?
Also im trying to Dip into the mid to low 12's on range on drag radials what mods should i start off with? Nitrous is in my near future so count that in..suspension is being taken care right now.
thanks for everyones (possitive) inputs.

If you run full suspension with sticky tires, lighten the car a bit, full exhaust and a 150 shot, you will be in the high 12's on the juice. High 13's without it.
Bolt on some heads, intake to match and a cam and your in the 11's. Mind you, this is all with FULL REAR suspension in your notch.
I ran 12.8 with FULL suspension, heads, intake, STOCK cam and injectors in a full weight 88LX hatchback with sticky tires. I put in a cam and am going with the NX 150 shot and I WILL be in the 11's. I love these cars ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I would recommend the AFR 165's on a stock bottom end since I have seen some very impressive numbers. Or a TFS head with a little work done to them. I run Edelbrock performer 1.90/1.60 heads and I am VERY impressed by how well these little things run. And I am keeping the NX kit very simple. NX You made a good car choice bro. Any pictures of the Notch?

Very loud. Idle has a nice rumble but at WOT it really screams. Sorry no sound clip. If my car was running I would bring it by so you could hear it. ![[Frown]](frown.gif) It's not quite stock so your results may vary
I was also running the mac flowpath mufflers with a mac catted h-pipe. This setup also had a really good tone. Still very loud but WOT was not as loud as with the x-pipe. The x-pipe will make your car sound a bit more raspy than an h-pipe
The mac and Bassani stuff seems to fit pretty good too.
