u could look into getting one of the new trickflow/c&l,etc. plenums for your car
supposedly worth 10hp
subfarmes stiffen ur chassis considerably, making hte body twist less, getting ur car going faster

if your after dyno numbers, then sell your car and buy a supra.
subframes stiffen the chassis. which mustangs need.

My advise is to pick up a Mustang magazine and learn what each modification does before you install it...
Subframe connectors will not void your warranty (atleast not that I know of)...They're a great mod, but like cobraman_1994 mentioned, they wont help with dyno numbers.... ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

What the hell is your car seeing the dealer once a month for. In this car you've already voided much of your warranty considerably by changing the mass air, the throttle body, pullies, gears, and the shifter. I don't see why you're going to stop here. An X-pipe takes 30 minutes to make the switch. Get and off-road X(don't forget Mil Eliminators)and switch it on and then if you need to take the car to the dealership you can take it back off in the matter of a half hour if you keep your stock pipe handy. The sub frames are also a great idea, your car will hook and handle a lot better. If you're having trouble with traction Lower Controls arms are also a good idea.

LMAO!!!! ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif) You said you made 262RWHP, but your sig says 304 ![[Confused]](confused.gif) 40 HP is huge for a stock car with a warranty. I would do subframe connectors, shocks and springs all at once.

I agree with what's been said here. Get a plenum, and get a new T.B. 75 mm is recommended by C&L with their plenum. It's what I went with and I'm happy. Get a new mid pipe too. And don't worry about the warranty. You've voided your rear end, but even if your motor blew up on you, which is unlikely to happen, none of the things recommended here or in your sig, except the gears, would be difficult to swap back with the factory parts before you take your car in to the shop, just to be safe. And get yourself the subframe connectors. Highly recommended. I have MMs welded to my car and they make a difference.
