Gears

347stroker · August 31st, 2008, 09:32 PM

+1 gears, tuner, cai the list goes on

sxynerd · August 31st, 2008, 11:57 PM

Gears and Exhaust don't do anything else till those are done......

562cobra · September 1st, 2008, 02:16 AM

Hai there.

Exhaust ftw.

Blower Head · September 1st, 2008, 11:05 AM

How much do you want to spend?

HMUSN · September 1st, 2008, 11:09 AM

welcome. gears are your friend

Military98stang · September 1st, 2008, 12:50 PM

hey man you really need to give more info on how much you are wanting to spend. There is a huge amount to do if there is no price cap.

ReverendDexter · September 1st, 2008, 01:01 PM

Fix everything that's wrong first.

Then tell us what you want to do with the car. DD? Street? Drag? Autocross? Roadrace? Rally? Drift?

If you want a cheap mod, the B&M electronic shift improver kits are ~$40 and do exactly what they say they will. I have one on my Bronco and love it. I can also dig up a link for a kit that will allow you to convert your automatic to a paddle-shift controlled manumatic.

Just depends on what you want to do with the car.

GEARS are right in ur price range

Gt98 · September 1st, 2008, 11:21 PM

should i go with 4.10 gears?

casper gt · September 2nd, 2008, 12:07 AM

4.10's are great just be prepaired for a healthy drop in mpg.

MustangMatt96GT · September 2nd, 2008, 12:26 AM

4.56s FTW but then you need 28 inch tall tires.

product1620 · September 2nd, 2008, 02:16 AM

NO!!!, 4.10s max, unless you never drive on the highway.

97mustanggt · September 2nd, 2008, 02:26 AM

Normally I would disagree and say that you should always go with 4.10s on a mod motor... but that's only for manual tranny cars.

On an automatic, you're better off going a step higher geared, so 3.73s would probably be ideal for most driving.

Also, a note about that paddle shift setup: it's not all that much easier, and more expensive than converting from to a manual trans, so if you really want a manual, I'd suggest just swapping to a manual. However, there are certain advantages to the slushbox, and I think this would install with less teardown of the car. All things to keep in mind.
