Im starting a new job and im going to start saving up money so i can finally but mods in my pony i was wondering if anybody has ideas of what mods i should do first and get me the most bang for my buck

KV007 · August 13th, 2010, 02:53 PM

3.73 for manual / 4.10 for auto. You will be blown away by the difference. ( Rebuild your trac-loc with the carbon fiber kit while your in there.) Alot of guys then move on to the exhaust, usually starting with a off road midpipe then catback then headers. After that you can spend a bunch on bolt on parts or just skip to the P.I. swap. ( There is a sticky about it at the top of the board.)

By then you will have become highly addicted to modding your stang and will start modding the suspension and thinking about boost, or nitrous, or building a stronger shortblock. Once you start, it never ends.......

personally if it runs good I would do suspension first. Cant stand the mustangs stock suspension. I'd go with Eibach. Dont go cheap. Lowering springs, shocks, struts, and caster camber plates. after that do a few minor bolt ons such as cai and exhaust. Then hit the motor.

OMG, I just noticed your user name means " Bread Man " . Do you work delivering bread? I did that shit for three months and told them to go screw. It was like 1am to 4 pm 5 days a week and they wanted you to go to the stores on your two days off and restock with extra product you leave there the day before. That was about the most ball sucking job I ever had. I left to become " The Beer Man." Definately an upgrade.

Don't need caster camber plates with Eibach pro kit, maybe with sportlines but heard they aren't that good.

JC316 · August 16th, 2010, 02:05 AM

Do PI heads man. Something that will get you some zip. I have a 98 GT and a 96 GT. The 96 is stock except for the 4V swap. The 98 has CAI, 3.73's, LT headers, ORH, Flows, under drive pullies, eibach sportlines, and CC plates. The 96 is faster by quite a lot. The ride is almost the same, the 98 just edges it. The 98 hooks better, but that is about it.

stang98piswap · August 16th, 2010, 02:46 AM
