Default 06 mustang v6 mods

I'm 16 years old and I havent been in the mustang scence very long. I drive a 2006 Mustang V6 5-speed. It is slightly modified: BBK CAI...diablosport preditor programmer...and true dual exhaust. To me it isn't very fast in the quarter mile. I was just wondering what could I do to improve my quarter mile time. I bought a posi-trac lock a while back but i havent installed it yet. Does anyone know if that would improve my quarter mile time?

I am not an expert, nor do I have one, but from what I understand yes it will.

If you times are in the high 14's your about right for your mods. If they are in the 15's you need to practice. The TLok will distribute power to both rear wheels, if traction is a problem this will help a little. Taller gears will give you better times at the expense of reduced gas mileage.
If you post the quarter time your looking to hit people can suggest mods to get you there. FYI: With every bolt on mod available, you will still be in the low 14's. There is one car on the boards hitting high 13's with bolt-ons but he's worked hard trimming tenths to get there. (he has EVERY bolt -on available and some weight reduction)

Turbocharger or Supercharger.... the choice depends on what you want out of the car.

I decided to go with the X Charger

A set of sticky tires can't hurt.
