Default 99-04 Mustang V6 Mods Question.!

Hey everybody..this is my first post on this site but i have been looking at a few engine mods for my car for a while now...I have basically narrowed it down to these..tell me what u think...i will greatly appreciate ur opinion..!..http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...es/biggrin.gif

1)Mac 2.5'' Cat Back
2)Mac Shorty Off Road 2.5'' H-Pipe
3)Mac 1 5/8'' Long Tube Headers
4)BBK CAI Kit
5)BBK 65mm Throttlebody
6)Hi-Flow Throttle Body Spacer
7)Motive Performance Plus 4.10 Gears (I have an auto)
8)Motive Bearing Kit
9)Ford Racing 7.5'' 28 Spline Traction - LOK Limited Slip Differential

I have listened to several different exhaust, and i decided on the MAC Catback with o/r H-pipe and LT headers because of the loud, but deep tone from the H-pipe.

I plan to add other minor engine upgrades later on, but nothing like a supercharger any time soon.

I would recommend getting a cheaper CAI since the BBK is pretty expensive and they all pretty much do the same thing. you can get a CAI for $80.
There is no point for getting a new throttle body and spacer since you arent interested in a power adder. those mods dont really do much without one.
Everything else i dont really have a problem with.

I would swap out #6 for a intake spacer. TB spacers are useless on our engines.

Would you recommend getting some UDP's first rather than a throttle body..?..and what is the difference really in an intake spacer and a throttle body spacer.?

The intake spacer actually helps in hp/tq where the TB spacer does nothing for you but waste your time and money. I would get pulleys before the TB.

Would the MOTOBLUE H.O. Series Power Pulley Kit from rpmoutlet.com be the best/most convenient choice because everything i would need comes n the kit..?..or is ordering from rpmoutlet just a bad idea..?..if so where could i find a better pulley kit.?

It would be a risk to order from rpm outlet but that's up to you. I haven't heard anything much bad about the Moto Blues.
