New To Forum - Performance Mods

james22 · 08-05-2006, 12:14 PM

Hi everyone. I just registered on this forum as i love fords the same as everyone else here.

I own a AUII - 2000 S. Currently it is stock except for 2.5in cat-back exh, Walker Extractors, and a K&N panel filter.

Anyone know what i should be doing next?
I was thinking about an SS CAIS next, but a few ppl seem to think that the money could be spent better on other things.

Any thoughts????

Don't get an SS CAI. Get a tickford CAI - just as good...
Do the intake all the way from the box to the tb...
Suspension mods? not just lowering, but handling too...
Rims?
Hi Stall Converter....
Diff/LSD...
ECU Flash Tune

Without opening up the engine, that's prob all you could do really....

If you use it every day...go dev 4 full package or dev 5 full package if you want to get into the 14 second bracket from JMM.All cams need a decent head to work. On a no hoper head in my AU I beleive that I can gain minimum 10rwkws from a decent head.

i think we need a performance mod in stages sticky..

like 1 - cat back exahust, 2 - extractors, 3 - intake and pod, 4 - cam, 5 - headwork

no engine performance mods
1 - high stall 2 - diff gears

tuning
1 - Edit or unichip

etc etc something like that i think with a detailed description of the prodcut how it works, how much it costs, power gains etc etc.. saves people asking the same question.. every day..
