Default Ok, What to do Next? 2006 Mustang GT

Hey , Old New Guy here. Turn fifty-five next month and just bought a 2006 GT with a 5 speed. I am loving it, but. Took it to the track the other night and ran it three times. Since I am new to it, and haven't driver a stick in thirity years, I did ok, Didn't miss a gear and best was 14.47 at 96 mph. Spun all the way through first. So the question is,,,What up grade first? CAI, Chip, Better rear tires? What do you long time guys suggest? Thanks in advance

Hello I am not a long time guy.I can suggest Lower control arms and a Upper control arm from Cheperformance.com. They also have some anti-squat brackets which would help get the power to the ground.Mickey Thompson ET streets are good for traction.Brenspeed has them with wheels. Cold air intake and tune is very good. Jlt and a SCT3 with a Bamachips.com tune or Brenspeed tune is also good.

Thanks for the suggestions. So I'll start with the CAI Any suggestions, or should I just go with a K&N? Maybe something cheeper will do the job?. Guess I need to sell my 355 S10 and buy some stuff for the Mustang. Thanks again.

If you're going to buy a CAI, buy a tuner also. To get the best gain, you will want a good tune. If you are spinning the tires bad now, a CAI and tune will make you spin more. Tires, suspension first, then add more power.

ditto to suspension first. If you can't get it to the ground, well...
