Finally saved up enough to do another round of mods for the MM.

4.10 gears
Evenflow kit
UDP kit
Might switch to NGK TR55IX plugs from the TR6IX plugs I am using now.

I'm undecided about what to do with my LSD, do I just rebuild it with the Ford Racing cobra clutch pak or maybe buy a new with the upgraded clutch pak and have a spare to keep or sell.

After these mods only bolt ons I believe that will be left will be an exhaust system and Accufab TB which I know the TB would only give me minimal gains right now so I'll hold off on it till later.

Anything else I should add on to the 3 main goodies?

Have you thought about a ported lower intake? I know a lot of people here say you gain nothing from that but some folks on the Mach 1 board are seeing gains of 20/20 under the curve, minimal peak gains but under the curve it seems like there are some gains. I just have trouble how seeing two cars with pretty much the same motor have such differences with that mod.

If I had a spare intake to get it done on and when I do the Evenflow kit just switch them out and have my stock one to sell or become a community pass-a-long part I would probably do it.

I don't know what your current mods are...

But I would forget about the pulleys and get an electric WP. Do the 4:10s with a new tune. I wouldn't worry about a TB or anything like that. Save the cash for a mod that will really make some numbers.

NGK TR5s or TR55s are plenty for a N/A car. TR6s for nitrous/boosted cars (gapped @ .032 I believe).

I dyno tested the accufab throttle body and it gave me 1RWHP and 3RWTQ but it improved about 5hp across the range. Your call on that one. As for the LSD, just get the upgraded clutches and "S" spring. Once installed you'll be fine for another 100K and you'll be saved some cash as well. The 4.10's should be on your list and Im using the Denso IT20 plugs. They are holding up fine.
I say go for the pulleys. I noticed a difference as well as most other members that installed them. Be sure to raise your idle in your tune.

Rear end clutches
UDP
4.10 ring and pinion.

You'll be good to go.

Plus you should get a Stewart mechanical water pump while you put on the UDPs

I totally forgot about the Stewart WP, that is on the list now.

Stewart WP
UDP
Evenflow kit
Cobra clutch pak & S-spring
4.10 gears

Sounds good and will probably hold me over for the next year unless I win the lottery and go bonkers. Have 4 MMs colors all with a different S/C kit lol.
