If you pay $600 for exhaust you need to be slapped. That is outrageous. GT takeoffs. Replace the muffles. That's all you need. Your gonna need studs to mount those roller rockers. If you get gears you need to get t-lok too.

You'll be over 200 flywheel horsepower with the intake, exhaust, and UDP.Gears and t-lok will take around half a second off you ET times.

should be around 225-235 rwhp, depending on components.

use GT takeoffs, and get a chip with the savings.

600 for exhaust if you dont want the hassle of tracking down gt take offs and fabrticating the rest you can buy a system and haver it installed. 600 is labor iuncluded.

Move gears and t-lock to #4, and do the rockers, P&P at the same time. You may want to consider a performance tune after the P&P/rockers.

How difficult was it to install your own CAI?

Now, how long would it take someone like me, who ain't too bright, to install it? Just because you can do it in 20 minutes doesn't mean people like me can do it in that time...

All you gatta' do is remove the stuff up to the throttle body, take the MAF sensor out of the housing, and attach the new stuff.

None of the parts look alike, so there's no chance of hooking it up wrong!

It's really a piece of cake.

It took me longer to decipher the drawings than it took to do the work.

You don't even need the drawings.

Ok dude, I know others have responded to this and I have class in about 10 minutes so I don't have time to read all that stuff. You have way too much money in what you are looking for. Here is my list:
GT take off exhaust about 100
Pace setter H pipe 70 bucks
Gears I got for about 150
Total install for all of the above was 300 bucks

about 65 bucks for a homemade, the K&N was about 55 (self installed)

UDP your price is right but YOU CAN install it yourself with no problem

Roller Rockers, once again you can install them by yourself with no problem

The Port and Polish you can get both the upper and lower for 500 plus shipping after the core return and if someone is charging you 1500 bucks to install them they are ripping you off big time.

Your price for the supercharger or turbo should be at 3000 I believe. I think that is what they are going for nowdays.

Go to Ebay, and the shop called usedmustangparts. They sell 'em there all the time. It's actually Mustang Parts Specialties online E-bay shop.

You can also go to Saleen, and see where they are selling them wholesale. it used to be Diversified products marketing, but they may have changed their wholesaler.

Most places charge 1,000 to x-ray the heads to see if there are cracks.

If they're splitport heads, I wouldn't go through the bother.

My friend, anyone that spends 1000 buck to x-ray thier heads for a street application, which is what it sound like he is going for, has something seriously wronge with them, that is 1000 buck for 0 hp. might as well just get a new pair of ported heads.
