Thumbs up Trying to get More Bang For the Buck !!

Ok! here is the dealio .
I've allready Installed Dual 440
Flowmaster Muffullers, And A BBK cold air System
On mt 2007 GT/CS Im happy With The Power Gain
But need More Without Paying to much for Small HP gains
Like spending up to $500 just to get 6HP or less (62mm "T"Body)
or spend over $4.000 for a Kennebell Suppercharger
what else can I do to gain more HP.

Bro I have the same question! I've put a k&n CAI on mine and took of the cats and got the magnaflow tru x pipe offroad, bbk headers and the tuner that programmed me for 93 oct tune. I'm trying to figure out is there anything else. By the way I have a black gt/cs! I want more gains cause that new camaro is comming out and the v6 has 300 out the gate and so many other cars now a days get 3 stock! Somone help us!!!!

Nitrous is the only way to go for bank for the buck. Just do it right and you won't have any problems. Big horspower is expensive for nitrous. But if you keep it at 100 WET shot your mustang's fuel system can support it along with your engine. Have the car tuned and don't get greedy and spray over 100 horse. Spend the money for bottle warmer. I must of put 15 bottles threw my 03 GT last year and the engine sounds healther on the spray.

Hey Thanks for the feedback!
You now I've thought about that before, Getting a Zex nitrous system but I wonder Will it do any harm to the engine in the long run ?

Well a sprayed engine wont last as long, like any heavily modified engine, but epecially sprayed. But if you are smart with it and keep a safe tune with it you should be alright. But if it were me, id save my money and spend it on a more efficent power adder, remember you get what you pay for. Sure Nos is an easy, cheaper way out, just gotta be careful with it.

I have a better question than you. I just bought a 2008 mustang v6 for my wife, i wanted it to sound better, i have heard about putting the flowmaster muffullers on it and also doing the cold air system. my question is what does the cold air system do and i have also heard about getting it a tune up. what does this tune up do and how much do all these things cost?
Thanks

$530.00, but including a dynotune and extras it will run about $1,200.
