New Mod Ideas?

superkeege · January 26th, 2007, 05:01 PM

I just bought my '07 Mustang GT (automatic), and am putting in a dvd based touchscreen navigation system in right off the bat and was wondering what kinds of mods should be first on my "to do" list.

CAI, gears, exhaust!

What have you guys found to be the best brands for those items? (CAI, Gears, and Exhaust)

A friend and trusted mechanic told me, "Keep it stock until she's broken in good, then Mod. the hell out of it."

You and your friend are right. I am extremely happy with it for now, but further down the road I will want to do somethings. I am just trying to figure out what others have done first. I also want to get the most gains for my buck.

Has anyone tried Lethal Performance's Power Packages? I was looking at those and some of them said up to 50+ rwhp gain and 40 lb/ft of torque.

I'm a little biased cause I order from them(lethal performance) all time, but you wont find friendlier, more professional and knowledgeable guys anywhere. They pride themselves on service. They have blackberries married to their hip and will respond to emails ASAP. Their prices rock too. The power packages look good. I did mine in pieces, but those look good. The more $ you have , the better..as always

sonicblue · January 26th, 2007, 06:47 PM

yup lethal is a great place to order from. very friendly and knowledgeable. as far as gears i would stick with ford racing.

I've been keeping a list of my mods as I make them. Here's my list:

Also, I've been collecting how to articles for mods I am interested in doing or that I have done. Maybe they'll help

i think that you'll find that with in a couple weeks the fast feeling from the stock GT is gonna feel quite slow

Let in break in!!! I have an 06 gt auto. Use Mobil 1 5w20 pure synthetic for your oil changes - trust me, I've been in the service business for 20 years.
My mods were a HyperTech programmer, Ford Racing mufflers, Ford Racing X pipe, Ford Racing Jet coated shortie headers, a Helix TB spacer, Ford Racing 3:73 gears, Ford strut tower brace and an Ingen ram air cold intake. I had 2 other intakes before the Ingen - it's the best by far. Tried a Granatelli TB but it was a disaster. Nothing I have done has voided the factory warranty. Give the engine 3.5 k to break in - you can't buy that oil. I know Ford calls for a syn-blend but pure syn is just a back up if you're making mods...

TheUNZippee! · January 28th, 2007, 12:49 PM

I've used Castrol Syntec in mine from day 1

rmays06 · January 28th, 2007, 06:53 PM

Headers, chrome, gears, interior dress up all kinds!

Just save for your supercharger or turbo kit, then finish it from there.

I lost so much money buying bolt ons and then when I got the S/C kit I had to sell them all for a loss because the kit replaced them or couldn't use them.
