I am looking at the speciaty z exhaust, JWt pop charger, JWT ECU, and the stillin intercoolers and some hard pipes. I was wondering if I should upgrade the fuel injectors now or wait until i decide to upgrade the turbos?

I waqs also looking into the 99 JDM front facia,

IMO....wait on the 555 injectors, usually you want to jump up the injectors when you do the ECU as well. BTW, you may want to hit up Ash with Ashspec/Z1motorsports as it's a lot cheaper to do the chip install/reprogramming with him. I remember JWT charging something like $700 or so.

Personally I would get a pop charger, downpipes/mid-pipe/exhaust, pulley, boost controller for right now. That is a good jump IMO. Then when you got the cash for the injectors and the ECU chip install, do them together.

If you know you are gonna get bigger injectors down the road, wait on the ECU until then. But then again, you may not even need to upgrade the injectors at all. How much whp are you planning for??

I don't really have a set hp number that I'm looking for. I will not be racing the car (she is a garage whore), it is not my daily transpo. I just want to "beef" 'er up. Maybe take her to the 1/4 mile track once for a time slip, but a dyno will suffice as far as I'm concerned. I am just looking to not have a super "weak link" in the car. I am planning on a turbo upgrade (just a small one, not wanting a ton of lag) and a new trans in the future. But this car is just asking for me to fix er up.

Your future mod list then.

1) 555 Injectors/ECU upgrade2) Sport 500's3) Dual pop4) Stillen/Greddy/Z1/ARC intercoolers

Somewhere throughout your quest for power you should consider a clutch and or flywheel.

And after this point, you've officially entered the darkside or as some say "caught the bug".

It's a viscous circle.

Man you sure got that right. This is not my first bug I previously owned a twin turbo 94 mustang cobra. Man was that a PITA.

I just placed the orders for the exhaust, intake, some chrome hard pipes and the ecu. I just can't wait to get that sucker close to what the mustang was.
