Finally got some $$ (700-800 bucks) to blow on the stang and am not sure which direction to go. I could go performance, in many ways, or spend it on appearance.

Performance wise i was look at ONE of the following: 4.10 gears (plus install), some 15 inch jegs wheels paired with some E/T streets, Tokico D-specs, or i saw some GT500 Front brakes on ebay for a steal.

OR appearance wise i really want the Steeda Cowl. Are hood pins really "required" with that hood?

Id appreciate any comments that could help me make a decision!

If you decide to go with performance. 4.10's would be my vote. But it sounds like you want to get closer to your appearence end game first.

That hood doesn't require hood pin's, but they are a good idea. There is way less pressure under trapped that hood than on a stock hood at speed. So thats why I say they are not required.

I agree with you on gears.

I was leaning toward the gears, but then when i hit the track with them i wont have any DRs to use lol. plus the 4.10s would have me ready for some SPR IIs next time i get $$...

How often are you planning on going to the track? Take a look at Holeshot Wheels, they are out of Bunell Florida so they are "kind of" local to us. The wheels are lighter and cheaper than Bogarts. Supposedly they are more streetable, too. I'm going to be hitting them up here soon because I want to get a pair with some cheater slicks before I annihilate my tires.

Go 4:10s dude

[07stanggt]

4.10s. Easy.

They make the car faster everywhere, not just from the dig, actually its the 70 rolls with 4.10s where i really notice the car is slower with these 3.73s. It takes forever to wind out.....so slow. Its a mod you will enjoy all the time.

If i have my own set of DRs prob every week or every other week. I cant get that kind of seat time now cuz i will eat up my street tires in 2 months.

There a great wheel and cheaper than bogarts, but are still a custom drag wheel. for what i need these are fine, require no caliper modification and are much more budget friendly JEGS 67077 - JEGS Sport Lite and Sport Star Cast Aluminum Wheels

are you considering the holeshot frontrunners too?

I say go with FRPP 4.10s... If that is what you want, me- i am going FRPP 3.73s.. anyhow I think you car looks fricken amazing, don't add to the looks, go for the mods that make you faster.

I went with some minor looks b/c my dad is gay about me doing performance stuff.. I am finally going with the gears b/c i wanted them for a long time and well- once i get the last of the install money- it will be going in for surgery..

PS. What shop in FL are you going to? Lamotta? RSP?

This is your mod than.

[06VistaGT]

gears. Definitely gears. Maybe the hood if you really want to work on looks first. Most after market hoods recommend hoodpins, due to hood shakes even with stock hoods. WMS has some stealth hood pins and Cervini has the twist down ones if you don't like the traditional look.

[navyman8903]

4.10's from rich. I did it and you can too. In fact.......give me 2 mins and I will get out all the sexy going in my cars rear end.

[navyman8903]

Eaton diff:

non-motive 4.10's from RADMUSTANGS

And all together now.

[bigpappy33]

nice navy! your going all out! i like the eaton diff...

So I think im going to do the 4.10s first, and then after i scrap together some more cash im def doing the jegs wheels and some DRs. I gotta stay busy somehow this summer, might as well be at the track. Nasty ill be coming out to speedworld after summer a, let me know when u go so i can check out the tvs.
