id start with boltons and gears. full boltons will net you about 280 whp, add cams and you will make around 300. Dp you have a power goal in mind? you might also check out ricks car care in norfolk.

ding ding ding!


This is the best setup to lok into if you're trying to start the modifying process.

Start with some headers, catback, intake. Then go gears and get new cams/lifters/all that shit

It'll be plenty quick.

I wouldn't even get headers.

On a stock 2v, you're not going to gain much if anything with them.

Now once it's blown and around 400-500 you might one to think about it, but the money vs. gains really isn't worth it.

Cams are almost the same on those. N/A, it's not worth the money

headers add more than you think. stage 2 cams usually add 20 whp. Ive found a set of comp 270's for as low as 400 dollars. is 400 dollars worth 20 whp? I think so.

Stock 2v headers flow just as good as aftermarket headers up to ~400HP. Its been proven in many magazines.

You're not including install. Install for 2v cams will run anywhere from 600-1000, depending on the shop.

i went from 250 whp to 270, just by adding lt's, explain that. and installing cams on a mod motor isnt that bad, just time consuming.

Nitrous.

LOTS OF IT.

Then once you blow the motor up, swap it out for a 4 valve.

I work at Kool Ford across the bay. Its a drive but we can get the full line of Ford Racing Parts, everything from complete engines to headers to mustang badges and stickers. We can get most anything within a day, superchargers are built to order so they take a little longer.
