Default New Mods for 2007 v6..help

Hey I just recently bought a auto 2007 v6, and my new exhaust just arrived. Well I still want to do some more modding. My question is, should I go for a CAI and tune next, or 4.10 gears and whatnot. If I should go with the gears, could someone possibly point me in the correct direction of where to get them?

I don't know much about gears and what I need with them, so is there a package that I can buy? I have been reading and I want to go with 8.8", or should i stick with 7.5"? So if you guys could give me a website or something that I can find this it would be very much appreciated.

The CAI and tune that I was planning on getting was this 05-08 Mustang V6 C&L Intake and Xcalibrator 3 COMBO 05-06 Mustang V6 C&L Intake and Xcalibrator 2 COMBO [CNLX3V6COMBO] - $625.00 : Bamachips, The Mustang Tuning Source

So if you guys could please help me out i would love that!! Thanks!

Everything you do depends on what ur overall goals are for the car. If your not planning on making that much power, stay with the 7.5, if you plan on making alot of power (over 300 rwhp) then go with the 8.8.

Now im not trying to pick on teenagers because i am 19 myself but if your a teenager trying to make your v6 faster then a gt i would spend your money on something else, i went that route and yea im glad i can say i can beat a gt by cars and cars but really... i still want a gt.

The v6 mustang is a nice looking car that lacks under the hood, either way it still gets girls.

I realize i didnt answer any of your questions but thats because i dont want to give you an answer to anything on what you should do next if i dont know what u wanna end up with in the long run..

The 8.8 is a great deal either way but its not NEEDED unless you are making big power

Jus post your goals and i will reply to help you reach them.

Sorry if i repeated things a couple times, its late

You can't go wrong with that tuner intake combo. I have a 07 v6 and got that same combo and love it! get the 93 race and you will be happy with that. I just received my 8.8 rear end with 4.10 gears. Now I am just waiting to get them installed. I'll let you know how they are. If you are interested in buying that same set up PM me and I can hook you up with a vendor on this site.
Also, what xchris said is pretty right on, you don't need the 8.8 unless you are planning on making a lot of power. I might supercharge or turbo my car in a couple years, so why not get the 8.8? I ended up paying about 100 bucks more than I would have if I did not get the new rear end. anyway, It's late so if this doesnt make a lot of sense, sorry PM me and I'll explain things better tomorrow.

CAI and tuner is one of the best first mods. Also a new muffler is good.

The muffler is a good start. The most common next upgrade is a cai/tune combo and the link you provided is the one I have. I love mine, and bama is a great company. I would recommend doing the cai/tune first, just due to the overall power benifits of the combo and the need for a tuner for any future mods you do. The gears also require a tune to use if you want your speedo to be right. The gears are a nice upgrade, as they will be my next(maybe?) I will get the 8.8 as its only about $100 more for the gears and axle plus install compared to just gears. It won't add any power, but gears will make you feel faster. And like xchris said, the v6 lacks the gt power but it will still get the ladies.

CAI, Tune, Exhaust, UDP, Ignition (Coil, plugs, and wires), T-Loc and Gears (get them installed at the same time), and of course don't forget about style, need some looks too lol.
