1. I originally wanted an Injen SES Straight-Tip Exhaust, Nexus Headers, Injen Race Pipes, Injen Cold Air Intake, Kinetix Aluminum Plenum. BUT, I got interested in the 2005 Mustang, and you just can't beat the sound. Now, i'm still undecided on which car, although almost all of my family tells me to get the Z. Anyway, what exhaust/intake combo's would help the sound be more aggressive towards sounding like a V8? I don't like the idea of a y-pipe, so an x-pipe or true dual is fine, or even an h-pipe. I realize sound is opinion and it varies, but, after a while you can get a general consensus of something.
2. As far as rear differential gears, why doesn't anyone make 4.10 gears or so? Gears are very important as far as i'm concerned, if you swap out gears you could be accelerating faster (depending on which ratio gears you get though) than stock on a stock car, regardless of what car, right? I know 350EVO makes 3.9 final drive gears, wouldn't this lower the top-end?
3. I want to get some more information about ECU's and tuning (as far as A/F ratios, timing, etc.) so I can be able to tune my own ECU when I get my car. I would rather just do everything myself. Where could I get some info on this or if anyone has any info on this they can give it. So what would be a good product to get to allow me to do this? (Turbo XS module, SAFC-II, etc.)
4. I plan on getting either Turbonetics single turbo kit, or Top Secret Turbo kit (if they ever spec it to USDM), or APS turbo kit. Question about the Turbonetics single turbo kit, I need a diagram of how it hooks up to the exhaust, i'm a little confused, is it after the headers and before the race pipes/cats? In that case, wouldn't that offset how the rest of the exhaust fits?
I've got a couple more questions.
5. What kind of camshafts do I need to be running, as far as lope and duration? I wanted 264 Tomei's, since it would rev rougher, but then I saw somewhere that I may not be able to run those with a turbocharger, so should I wait until I get F/I? And what camshafts should I get?
My ultimate plan is to do basic mods until I can save up enough money to get a turbo kit and then get it, and start saving up for internals, I was going to do internals first and then a turbo kit but I figured why wait, the stock internals can hold 400rwhp if tuned correctly, and I can just upgrade as I get the money and slowly turn the boost up. Anyway, I guess that's it for now.
