Just a list I made. Was hoping yall could give me some advice on any of it; changes, order, etc. It's for a 2002 GT

• Sequential Tail lights
• Smoked tail lights and clear/smoked side markers (using Nite Shades)
• Shift light (have it, need to install it)
• MGW Short Shifter
• Long tube headers (BBK?)
• Custom H-Pipe like white stang
• Mufflers Keep magnaflow or change to flowmasters?)
• Accufab throttle body and plenum (70mm or 75mm)
• JLT cold air (sell current)
• Floor mats
• 3.73s or 4.10s
• Americanmuscle.com HID kit (heads and fogs)
• SCT Xcalibrator 2/3? Diablo?
• Springs?
• Shocks?
• Strut brace?
• Sway bar?

I like the whole list except the sequential tail lights. They're ricey IMO.

What kinda shift light did you get?

1st, keep the magnaflows and stay away from the blowmasters.
LT headers ftw
70mm plenum, unless you have a better intake manifold,
4.10s ftw
ask HOSS302 what programmer, he just bought one and loves it
and definitely upgrade your suspension

the sequential tail lights are relative. some like em some dont. i happen to think they are a tastefull mod and have some in my room lol.

for headers, i cant say enough about Pypes brand. the fit is tight but they fit fine and are stainless steel. ran me around 300 for lts.. cant beat it

Unless you have a blower or f/i of some sort, a larger TB is a waste of money.

+1, more air your getting that the engine won't use.

please explain this ryan.. how would the motor not use more air?

a bigger tb/plenum on a 2v does not net big gains. no mods on a 2v do for that matter. but if 4-5 hp per mod is a waste.. why do we all spend a fortune to mod our cars.. it all adds up

if your stock intake doesn't have a good enough flow for more air its a waste
just like a 800cfm carb on my stock 289 would be an overkill, too much fuel for what the motor uses and how the flow is

Aftermarket plenums have secret bypass valves on the underside that the extra air evacuates from.

Raptor. Oh and about the shift light, any suggestions on where to mount it? Had it right in the middle of the cluster covering the turn signals but i'm looking at other options for placement.

I think thats the way I'll go. BigJ suggested an X pipe with the magnaflows.

Any idea where I can get 3.90s? I have people I can get 3.73s or 4.10s from but what about 3.90s?

I just can't help how intrigued i get when I'm driving behind my friend who has them haha. But yeah that is a nice price.

the lower pi intake for a gt doesnt have bad flowpaths, its just plastic. to say that tb/plenum combos give no gains is just flat out wrong lol. there is countless dyno sheets to prove it. hell accufab has dyno runs from every tb/plenum on the market damn near.

i didnt se any secret flaps on the bottom of my accufab? i trust this is sarcasm at its finest lol

I got a raptor as well. Mine is on top of the steering column and I like it. I just went outside and took a pic. I'll post it as soon as the pic gets to my email from the phone.

u can fit the raptor in the air vent. use the center air vent not the drivers side vent.

Everything looks typical, only thing I don't really like is the shift light... Are you going to race, or do you really need a light to tell you when to shift?? I just think it's kind of pointless. To me, it's like the ricers that put big huge 5" tachs in their honda civic right in the middle of the dashboard when they already have one right in their gauge cluster. Just my opinion. Either way, it's your car, do what you want with it!
