get some gears, doesnt add torque or HP but makes the car a hell of alot faster...

then you can go with
midpipe
catback
cold air intake
throttle body
plenum
hand held tuner

I might bump the short shifter up the list a ways. It's fairly low cost and it makes the car a hell of a lot more fun to drive. It was the 1st thing I did to mine. Turns the Ford Gear Bag into a nice, slick shifting, piece of equipment.

Yep, these guys got it pretty much just right. Any combination of those mods listed above will make driving your 'Stang a lot more fun. Especially the gears and exhaust. More go, more growl...can't beat that for right off the bat.

shift kits work well with autos, they firm up the shifting as well as getting a stall converter.


p.s. so when you come back to florida you plan on racing me with a auto

I would not really buy a CAI till I done the shifter, gears, plenum/throttle body, and exhaust. Then some pullies and some sticky tires always helps taking off a lot.

I looked on his profile....2004 GT with flows.

I personally would do gears, short throw shifter and hand held tuner...then CAI, pullies. The short throw shifter makes these cars so much more fun to drive.
