You will enjoy your car alot more if you improve those areas first before you work on the engine. <br /><br />Here is the list of mods in the order i would do them if they have not been done yet<br /><br />#1-Subframe Connecters<br />#2-Rear End Gears<br />#3-Shocks, Springs, and control arms<br />#4-Hawk Brake pads (If you have more money get a set of 13" Cobra front brakes for $399.99)<br />#5-Gears<br />#6-Exhaust<br />#7-At this point you need to decide how you want to increase power... supercharger, nitrous, normally aspirated.<br /><br />Before you do anything to your engine I would get a compression test since it has 125K miles. You don't wanna dump money into engine mods to find out your engine is weak.<br /> <br /> <small>[ October 30, 2005, 11:56 PM: Message edited by: Apexmotorsports ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>marc</b> <br /><small>Member # 4238</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(2005,9,31,5,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> definately run a compression check and also check out oil levels<br /><br />1---K&N filter<br />2---Rear end (3.73)<br />3---Subframe connectors<br />4--- Heads&headers <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>MustangNate</b> <br /><small>Member # 4559</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(2005,9,31,11,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Personally I don't think that getting gears should be one of the first things that you should do. Gears are great, if you have the motor to pull them the entire way down that 1320.<br /><br />I guarantee that if you came up against another 94 vert that has a few bolts on and stock gears, you may get him on the hole shot but he'd take you on top end.<br /><br />Do a tune up and a compression check first. Then I would go with chassis/suspension/brakes. Then start on doing engine mods, when you get some bolt ons, then get yourself some gears.<br /><br />That's just my opinion, I'm not an expert, just giving ya something to think about. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ October 31, 2005, 11:31 AM: Message edited by: MustangNate ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>94gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 3060</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(2005,9,31,11,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I disagree...
