G'day all. I just signed up to this forum, as I'll be on my way to pick up my first Ford ever. It's a 2000 XR8 5.0l. I'm pretty excited! I was just wondering what most of you guys would do to increase the kw? I've got an extra $5,000 to spend and what to put it all into the engine.
Cheers guys  |

if you have $5k in your hot little hands I'd go straight up for a supercharger.. Buy the expensive things first then save up $1500 for the headers and exhuast asap
