SNKBITE Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hey fellas, My 40th Anniversary was done with no upgrades other than the basic 40th appearance package. What would you recommend to increase the HP on a limited budget? I read somewhere the cold-air intake and pully system can bring the car from 500hp to around 540hp? Also, does the "one peice aluminum" drive shaft reduce weight, thereby adding any HP? I would assume someone can even point me to the correct Shelby part numbers in the catalog. Thanks as always for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks as always for the input! By far the easiest horsepower up grade is a cold air intake and new pulley and tune. It took my stock horsepower to 543 at the wheels.

Thanks as always for the input! I had the same dilemma so my solution was to is to increase my budget. (thank goodness for paid up life insurance). The cold air/pulley as others have said are your best bang scenario after that you may consider porting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
