I just finally shelled out the 5 grand for a Hellion Turbo Kit, well I've only had this stang for a few weeks, but anyways my mods are so far:
BBK 70mm TB Mystery Cam BBK Off Road H-Pipe 2 Chamber Catback Flowmasters
I was told a new intake manifold will not help very much, I wanted to pick up a GT-40 but they are supposedly discontinued from Summit. BBK didn't recommened I shell out $600+ for theirs as it "wouldn't help much, but wouldn't hurt"
I hate to lose my flowmasters as I know they are going to create backpressure, any muffler recommendations?

get some straight through mufflers, turbos are a big fan of backpressure. tfs intakes
i hear good things about the dynomax bullets, from people with turbos. [ March 13, 2006, 10:31 PM: Message edited by: two-gun kid ]

So I assume you have a 302 w/ stock heads? If so I would consider upgrading your heads at the same time you do the intake.
If you plan on keeping the stock heads then just get a used Cobra or GT40 intake.

according to hellion on there site, there kit comes with a 62mm turbo, i dont think thats over kill for a stock motor...but if you already have a motor built then defenetly get the box intake... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) [ March 17, 2006, 02:38 PM: Message edited by: onesicklx ]

that's a good attitude, so many people do these types of things, then when it breaks they are shocked and sad. I wouldn't buy an intake unless it was real cheap, or I would buy for the future
