List looks good... But if you plan to add a positive displacement blower later on, save the $$ on the plates and the pulleys.

??? Your profile says you have the classic spoiler. I would say no-go on the aggressive one. You have to cut on the facia and it looks like a cow catcher compared to the classic one.

Please expand on the "Cut on the facia". There was no info concerning this operation.

No Plans to blow or supercharge the motor.

You have to cut the stock front clip with a dremel to get the aggressive spoiler to fit.

Question Thanks for the updates and replies

Ok on the chin upgrade- Personal Preference

Need help with the under pullies, racing springs and the Steeda charge motion control plates?

Any feedback out there ?

Fred

Yes on Steeda U/D Pullies, Yes on the Ford Racing springs although I went with the Steeda's, and No on the Steeda Billet charge motion plates. They have the economy version for $160.00 less.
I;m all for quality but there is absolutely no difference in the functionality of the 2.

Steeda claims the ports are a little bigger. Not sure if that would make a difference or not.

Default Agreed on the intakes

I read the same verbage and they say a .70 increase in port diameter over the economy ones. Alot of $ for .70 and the same "Up to 10 HP" verbage in the item description. I am going to pass on them for now.

All other items were ordered today.

The cast plates are fine... Or, if you can find the FRPP plates, they are even cheaper.

OK dumb question: If the stock plates have butterflies in them (Air Disruption) and the Steeda Cast Plates don't can I pull the stock one off and use a dremil to remove them?

If the Steeda plates offer no restrictions on the air movement thru them does the Helix Throttle body spacer (" creates an air vortex) going in then will they neturalize each others purpose?
