Port your headers and cut an addional hole in you stock airbox. I have heard from some that you can cut another hole about the size of the one that already exists at the back of the box in front of the throttle body for some tiny gains.

Very loaded question...I assume you are talking performance? Well then first suspension...then...turbos, intake, LWFW, Plenum. How much can I spend?

We tested the evo box on our mustang dyno, and we picked up 15hp and 15tq to the wheels. The evo and the stock box were swapped out multiple times while the car was on the dyno.

I agree with the suspension but if you are going to keep modding and increasing hp I would consider the high pressure silicone turbo boost hoses, prevents hoses from blowing off or exploding. EVO has them, expensive worth it IMO.

dont use an oiled air filter it will ruin your MAF.

Tom,

I have been using the oiled filter that came with my V-Flo since April of '05, with no MAF problems, whatsoever (14 months/15,000 miles). It was run with FVD stage 2.

Last week I upgraded to K16/24 hybrids, ported/polished & ceramic coated headers, silicon hoses and 1.2 bar programming. I have driven about 500 miles with this package and so far, so good. I can really hear the air sucking and blowing off with these new components...so there is a lot more flow than with the previous set-up. We'll see how the MAF holds up.

Yep, and the dry one isn't winning any reliability awards either
