1st mod?

rpetty · April 26th, 2010, 04:41 PM

Thinking bout 4.10 gears as the first mod for my 96 GT
Its completly stock. auto tranny 81.000 miles.

any suggestions??

BAD98GT · April 26th, 2010, 04:50 PM

gears are a good 1st mod

sharkbait · April 26th, 2010, 04:53 PM

Cold air intake
Exhaust
Throttle body and plenium.
Gears

Do those and you'll have a good base to work with.

I would also highly suggest a PI intake swap, or do the full PI swap.

With an auto, 4:10's will make rpm's much higher on the interstate= bad gas mileage.

Good seat of the pants feeling though!.. if you want gas and something that will lay you in the seat go w/ 3:73's.

The other best first mods would be
- Cold Air intake
- Throttle body and Plenum
- Off Road X or H pipe- really
- Mufflers

Basically anything that will open your NPI's restricted air flow up.

We know the drill lol, these threads come around every week

4.10s for sure first thing you do!.. They made my 96 gt auto more fun..

Who cares about gas, why buy a v8 mustang if your going to be worried about gas?.. plus they cant be much worse then the 3.73s.. I didnt notice a big difference on my car...

pp_puncher · April 26th, 2010, 09:18 PM

yep, gears

zigbigadoru · April 26th, 2010, 09:54 PM

gears would be a good choice or you could look into a pi swap.

97Roush · April 26th, 2010, 10:50 PM

+1

jasons_98gt · April 27th, 2010, 12:30 AM

i would love to gears, since i have so much done to the motor add on wise
just afraid i'd break something with that many miles.

KV007 · April 27th, 2010, 12:28 PM

only 81k man. my mustang just hit 200k the other day. the motor ran to 180k. i wouldnt worry bout breaking or having to rebuild ur auto tranny for at least 20k if u take care of it

tfofkyle · April 27th, 2010, 08:35 PM

yes. 4.10s are good. dont listen to these guys. a supercharger would be the next mod.

In that order.

I got 93k on mine and it runs like a flying mammal out of Hades

A supercharger is a pretty good first modification.

97Dustang · April 28th, 2010, 10:50 PM
