new to mustangs - need opinions

winslow16 · 10-20-2009

i bought my mustang a couple months back. so far i bought a upr o/r x-pipe, mac cat-back, urp big mouth air filter, and 10000k h.i.ds. money is a problem right now but christmas and my bday are coming up soon

so im just wondering what are some good minor mods i could do now that will also come into play in the future when the more major mods happen.

any opinions are great

i'd ditch the air filter and buy a cold air intake kit. its worth the money.

gears would help alot! its about 160 for gears and 80 for install kit then u gotta pay to get them installed which will cost anywhere from 200-600 depending where u go. i would recomend 3.73 for manual and 4.10 if you have automatic but either way you will notice a huge difference in performance

or if you have an automatic get a handheld tuner. they help a lot also!

i did look into gears and cai. i found gears on americanmuscle.com for around 200 and my friends dad is a mechanic so he would do them from me. also i seen on bbkperformance.com they have a cai and throttle body package for like 360 i was looking into that too. a friend of mine said to look around for a sct excalibrator 2 since they just came out with 3 so the 2 would be a little cheaper

I would go with DiabloSport in terms of handheld tuner

If you have a auto throw some gears on there If you don't plan on putting on a supercharger down the road I would go 4.10

I have a K&N CAI that is pretty much brand new that I have from when I had my vortech supercharger put on I will sell it to you for 80 bucks if you are interested it comes with everything you need.

ive got 3.90's love them. get the usual beggining mods. intake, programmer (you already have exaust) ,gears, underdrive pulleys. i think you will enjoy that .i do. but we all know its never fast enough

i heard underdrive pulleys are kind of a waste of money and i have a 5sp. i will deffinetly buy the cai off of you i just need some time right now im working to pay for my car and insurance and i should be starting my new job soon.
