I talked to Sheldon today and because i dont have the P.I. heads instead of being like 1800 for heads and cam it would be like 2600 so i dont know, 100 horses sounds great though

I say keep the Rims white first of all. They are very original, too many people have chrome rims just IMO.
Then you'll have more money towards a blower set up. I say forget about the chrome rims a think about more Ponies under the hood! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
What ever you decide on good luck!

99+ PI heads and cams....If you cant buy them new, get some low milege used ones....
Superchargers are more than $1800 easy. ![[Frown]](frown.gif) ....

I agree!!!! Make sure you have the normal bolt-ons as well. Save up again and then get the blower later.

I would agree with some heads, where can i get a pair of used P.I. heads? I considered squeezing but i talked to a lot of performance shops and they told me to be safe to run like a 50 shot, but i really want to buy a used blower for my set up.... let me know thanks

50 shot is for imports....i'm sure you could safely run 100 shot as long as everything is installed correctly and you have the safety devices to go along with the set-up.....i used to have a 1.6L corolla gts and ran an 80 shot direct port for more than 2 years and no probs at all on a stock motor with 116K on it...just my opinion though ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I would go for the HEADS and CAM...save up a little bit more and get some true MUSTANG power..easily over 70+HP

Get a FRPP or Bullit intake. You can install it yourself. Then heads/cams later. The stock intake will limit the power you make with the head/cam combo.
Besides, I dunno hom many miles you have on the motor but if your going with boost, you may want to get the short block done (forged rods/pistons). Since it is a pain to do the heads in the car, get it all done at once and save labor money. Then add the blower...

I just rolld to 50,000 miles the other day it was a heartbreak, but i bought it with 37,000, and i dont drive it too bad. But how much can you pick up a bullitt intank for? I just kinda wanted to pick up a used supercharger one for like 1500-2000 because its a saleen and i love the whine of them.... i got 2000 bucks so i dont know what im going to do, thanks, I talked to sheldon at big boy fabrication and for 1500 i can get the 2001, cam, heads, and intank which he said is good for 65-70 to the wheels

Just a thought but that 1500-2000 probably won't go as far as you would like as far as buying a used charger. What about little things like a fuel pump, maf, tune, etc. If I were you I would definitely go with the PI heads!!! Gotta get that motor breathing well...
