If you plan on doing a heads, cam, and intake combo then I'd at least buy the mass air conversion parts first. I made the mistake of doing the heads, cam, and intake and then waiting to convert to mass air. With the H/C/I and speed density, the car idled like shit. It ran just decent under throttle, but it ran like shit when it was cold. Now with the MAF, it doesn't spew smoke at idle, it idles at 800rpm consistently (instead if idling at 1200 and jumping up as far as 2100). Basically, just think about what you're planning on doing to the car and go from there.<br /> <br /> <small>[ April 06, 2004, 02:26 PM: Message edited by: The Nick ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SlowStockFox</b> <br /><small>Member # 1081</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,3,6,17,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> im on my 2nd S.D car and i love it. you can mod them ok. mass air would be nice. but some good bolt ons and goods. there bad ass<br /><br /><br />if the car is what you like and it works how it should buy it. dont let the fact it S.D hold you back. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
