If I install C&L 80MM meter with the K&N filter and a larger throttle body, will I have to do anything to the computer? What kind gains can I expect? Will a plastic cold air kit be a better choice over the larger meter? I also plan to add an x pipe with cats. I already have Mac after cat exhaust.

Thanks in advance

I went that route, and I maybe gained 5 rwhp out of the whole combo. I would do these:
3:73's or 4:10's
steeda pulleys
short throw shifter
high flow cats and cat back

One more thing, go w/ Pro-M instead of C&L.

Thanks. What is the electrical unit that recalibrates the speedo called and who sells it? How does the 373 and 410 gear affect top speed and milage. I heard the 373 allows for awesome acceleration but with more shifts. What's the 410s like?

I would make the MAF and TB the last mods that you do. The stock MAF and TB are good to 400hp+ someone pipe in if I'm wrong. My car stock I was running consistant 14.3s. See sig for mods and new time. I have a Magnaflow X-pipe with highflow cats, Nitto 555R's and a densecharger system5(www.densecharger.com check it out) all going on this week. I'll have new times Saturday. There's another 01 GT that has 4.10s and an O/R H thats running 13.5s I think. Good Luck and Have Fun.

There is an abbot box, ask TRY2PAZ about that one, and then Dallas Mustangs sells one as well. You will here everyone say, "Don't fear the gear and get 4.10s" As you can see, JUSTIN ran a 13.5 with an off-road pipe and 4.10s.

If you auto cross, No more than 3:73's. I can put in an abbot box in 10 minutes. Let me know when your ready. Glad you like the board.
