I dynoed my car on the Mustang Dyno at work (known to be 27% lower than a DynoJet) and the results are in this thread:
http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=5659&highlight=
Needless to say, I decided I wanted a little more power.
Following are my current and future mods.
The car is a 2001 R/T (5spd 3.94 gearing) that currently has 87,000 miles on the odometer. They're all mine. (except for the 8 miles that were on it when I got it from the dealer) Regular oil changes every 3,000 miles with FRAM (yes, FRAM) oil filters. Still on stock internals, tranny, clutch, everything.
The only problems I've had with the car is the #4 spark plug tube filling with oil. Which I fixed by taking off the valve cover and replacing the tube seals at 86k. That and some broken motor mounts, but that's my fault
It's been ran at the 1/4 mile strip twice. Once on Nelson Ledge's road course (what a blast!). I'm telling everyone this because:
1.) I'm not ever selling it, I'll drive it till it dies. It's my first car, it shall die with me!!
2.) So you know what the car has been through. (LOTS. WOT 80% of the time)

Crap I Don't Need/Want To Sell:
Comp 400 cam ~$225 shipped?
So here's the scoop: Going to use the VAFC to control fuel (aka add a little at part throttle, subtract a little at top end), and also to activate the secondaries so I can actually rev above 5k and it be useful. The cam and springs should allow me to safely rev to the AF/X-R's 7,800 rpm redline.
I recently did an oil analysis, just to make sure things weren't going to go TOO wrong after I do all this work to my 87k motor!
Here's the results of that:

An explanation of all the elements: http://www.blackstone-labs.com/report_explanation.html
(yes, the oil had 4,700 miles on it
I think it's allllll clear...... will be updated as the car progresses!
