Alright guys so I put a lot in the stang last month and still have the urge to mod But I'm not sure on what to do next. Any suggestions on what I can do for more power that won't be a waste of money? I was thinking maybe a tuner because I have an intake and exhaust now but I don't know much about them.
How bout the stuff in your "soon to come" section in your sig? You have a lot of cosmetic mods. The only bolt-ons you have (according to your sig) are the exhaust and cai.
What bout an udp, long tubes, aluminum drive shaft, aluminum flywheel, gears and a closed diff, and a tuner. Also depends on how much money you wanna spend. If you got the duckets, go f/i or h/c/i. I don't consider bolt-ons "wasting money" (unless its a bigger throttlebody or intake spacer w/o f/i). But thats just my oppinion. All together they can add up quit nicely. Nitrous is also an idea if your lookin for some quick hp.

rfcsoulja-Why do you consider an intake spacer useless without f/i? They have dyno proven results as well as seat of the pants results n/a. They are actually one of the better bolt-ons to get for the price and ease of installation.
OP-Give a price range and type of mod that you are looking for. That will help out with us giving you idea's. We could sit here all day and talk about nothing but performance mods and you might just be looking for aesthetic for all we know.

That was my bad. I meant a throttle body spacer. I actually added an intake spacer to my already extensive list of future mods. Again, I apologize.

Or you could get an intake spacer and a tune, that would be a noticeable difference for $500. $500 might be a stretch to get gears and t-lok though.
You're right. Forgot about the crazy install prices you guys pay. Then just a t-lock can be done relatively cheaply. There is a writeup on it at the top of the tech page that we did.....
I hear intake spacers dont even do anything. And I'm a student so if I get a tune I have to get a 87 octane tune. How much hp will a 87 octane tune give?
An Intake Spacer and TB Spacer are completely different. The TB spacer goes between the TB and the upper intake and is useless. The Intake spacer is sandwiched between the upper and lower intakes and it increases torque in the mid-range. If you ask me, it was one of the best mods i put on my car, and it was inexpensive and i did it myself in like 2 hours tops. You won't feel a difference with the 87 octane tune. Go with a 93 octane performance tune, pay a little extra for gas, and you will swear by 93 octane for the life of the car. I picked up 6 tenths in the quarter mile with my 93 tune, and that was with losing traction at the line.
I knew i tested that tuner separate from my gears for a reason!

^Definitely good plan. As an added plus, they are an easy install too. lol You could also add LT's for some added power and sound. Or look into a Windstar intake swap. That will add some power and help the engine to breathe better.
