I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

you should really think about stepping up to a 5.0 v-8. Specially the H.O. I have an 87 v-6, and minus slightly better gas miliage I hate it. The v-8's are just fun. Even a standard output, you woiuld be more happy with. Check out http://www.coolcats.net for some good tips and tricks. Also use the serch button
