What mod should i get

ocsailor86 · January 17th, 2009, 12:36 PM

I have a 96 mustang gt. It has 3.73 gears, k&N filter, underdrive pullys and a short throw shifter. I dont have headers yet but have a jegs X-PIPE with no cats and flowmaster 40's. I cant really afford a PI swap right now but i was thinking about getting a Diablo Tuner? Would this help me at all?

Tuner or suspension.

97GT4.6 · January 17th, 2009, 01:52 PM

lowering springs.. looks a ton better, handles better. and fairly cheap

jasons_98gt · January 17th, 2009, 05:24 PM

lowering springs are good but if you get them include the cost of caster/camber plates with them or your alignment will be shit...thats what happened to me

ocsailor86 · January 17th, 2009, 06:37 PM

Yeah i was thinking about lowering it too. I am going to buy 18's for it soon and i think lowering it with the 18's will give it a nice stance. Thanks guys

if u have the money for a diablosport tuner then u definitely have the money to do a pi intake swap which is without a doubt the best mod u can do right now

Diablo wont work on a 96 , Sniper will though

97GT4.6 · January 18th, 2009, 11:35 PM

well if you get a eibach prokit, and its only a inch drop or so, you dont need c/c plates.. alignments are cheap

Uncle Humjaba · January 19th, 2009, 12:34 AM

i agree with the pi intake.

97GT4.6 · January 19th, 2009, 02:27 AM

PI intakes are great, such a noticeable difference.

NinetySixVert · January 19th, 2009, 01:47 PM

1) PI Intake 2) Suspension 3) Brakes 4) SCT X3 Tuner

I'm on the Eibach Pro Kit Springs and KYB Adj. Shocks / Struts and I needed the aftermarket C/C Plates. I did the suspension / chassis / brakes all at the same time and now my car is incredible (not bragging, simply stating those mods make all the difference in the world). Throw on some KDW 2's and now I'm rock solid stuck on the pavement. Who says Mustangs need IRS...

Really though, just suspension and brakes combined with those rear end gears you have turn the Mustang into the sports car it was meant to be and unlocks all the potential these cars were built with.

+1

You can search your local junk yards and do the swap for less than $400.

Considering you already have an o/r x pipe and flowmasters I would get a nice set of headers and complete the exhaust.
