Default 2 part question from new member

Hey all! I'm new to this site and new as a Mustang owner (28hrs I've had it). I have experience in imports but this is a whole new ballgame. So my first question is...what is the first move to mod? Where do I start? Air intake is the obvious choice but is it the best? Second, I kinda have an erratic idle issue. Not major, but occasionally it doesn't wanna hold still. I've read things that say clean the MAF. It's a 2004 GT. Is this the answer? Thanks for your feedback.

CAI and tune are a good start. MAF and throttle body cleaning may resolve your idle issue. If that doesn't do it, you could have a coil or throttle position sensor issue.

+1 on the CAI & tune: you'll notice a difference right away. Having had experience with it, I'd suggest JLT - they make a good set up, although there a number of others too that people seem to like.

As I recall, you can get the JLT kit for a little over $500 w/ the new SCT-3X (can't remember where though- surf and you'll find it.)
