I have 600 to spend on mods

ocsailor86 · March 19th, 2008, 06:27 PM

So i have a 96 mustang with cold air, short throw shifter, x pipe, and flowmasters. I have 600 dollars i need to spend on it. What do you guys think would be the best investment

JStang14 · March 19th, 2008, 06:48 PM

a pi swap if you can do the work yourself and get it used

Muscletang · March 19th, 2008, 06:56 PM

A set of 3.73, 3.90, or 4.10 gears.

Jucostud · March 19th, 2008, 11:30 PM

I got 4:10's and a pi intake for that much

. The new intake was well worth it! If i were you, i would probably do the pi intake swap and an accufab TB and plenum.

stanglifemike · March 20th, 2008, 12:22 AM

4.10's will give you the biggest difference

NMR-2vGT · March 20th, 2008, 12:25 AM

4.10's

ocsailor86 · March 20th, 2008, 12:37 AM

Ok so i was thinking about getting 4.10's so do i just need to purchase the gears? Or is there something else i need to buy. I wanted to get a shop to install them. How much would that run. I want the job done right.

you have a N.P.I. dont listen to anyone on here get a swap first best bang for your buck at this point

96GtGoodz · March 20th, 2008, 12:50 AM

Hah this guy. Goes from "omgz answer this question" to "i know everything" in 3 months...
Don't forget these people you're telling him not to listen to are who you learned everything from.

Back on topic, I'd say see if you can find a pi intake and cams if you can install them yourself, and if you have enough left then gears.

MikeD05GT · March 20th, 2008, 08:14 AM

intake cams and gears...i you shop around you can get intake under 150 cams under 50 and gears 200....plus install....

Your install should be anywhere between $200 and $400 depending on where you are. Where are you? There is most likely someone on here near you that can refer a good shop. You have said it once but to repeat, you want someone that definitely has experience and knows what they are doing. With your 96 you are going to want to put in new bearings. The whole kit is less than $90 and the gears are around $200. The PI stuff is a great improvement too.

i dont know where you could find gears for 200.. unless you dont shop for FRPP.. but your looking like 230-240 and if you get the master bearing kit your looking closer to 300.. but if you do find some for 200 point me in the right direction!

Muscletang · March 20th, 2008, 09:13 PM

Here's where I got my 4.10's. I couldn't believe the price and if you order them on Wednesday's it is free shipping.

well you dont have to be an asshole having a NPI and wanting to do it i also looked up alot of stuff i never even hinted i know everything i am more than posotive that i dont know alot but at this point him having a NPI thats the best way to start off his car ..... why not take car of some of it now while he has a nice chunk of the money for cams?
