Exclamation I have a 2001 yellow mustang v6 with 156000 miles, what mods should I do?

I'm thinking about saving up and rebuilt the engine, or should I do the tranny first, the car runs string , but sometimes when I stop on a red light the rpms goes below 1 and then stays in 1 , needs advice since I really love my stang

well cai, duel exhaust, gears and a tune would be nice for your car, I wouldnt go into heavy moding due to how many miles are on the car. is it a auto or standard?

The car is automatic, I put dual exhaust with 40 series flowmaster, next thing I'm going to put is an intake, also what tune should I put and what gears, and my last question would be, would the front seats of a 2001 mustang gt fits my 2001 mustang v6?

if ur not planning on going with a power adder anytime soon, then going with 4.10 gears/tlok or just swap ur 7.5 for a 8.8 rearend with 4.10 gears.

other good mods to get is a SCT tuner, underdrive pulley kit, CAI

as for the throttle body, you are going to have to port match it to ur upper intake manifold
