Got 500 to spend and looking for ideas

BLOCKBURNER · November 11th, 2010, 02:05 PM

I have 500 to spend on my official first mods to my stang! I am looking for some input to help guide me in the right direction. What I am hoping to gain is of course HP!!

Now I have already done an orh pipe still with stock mufflers though" can't decide on exhaust. Other than that she is bone stock.

CAI, Long tubes. Full exhaust Mustangs can yield big power. Look at my numbers. I only have exhaust and a tune. Now if you want to save up a bit more. I suggest getting gears and a 31 spline rear end. 3.73's or 4.10s depending on if you are auto or not.

4.10's

+1, gears if you don't have them

4.10s

Is this more so for putting power to pavement quicker? I know there is no gain in a gear change.

Scott2001GT · November 11th, 2010, 03:09 PM

4:10s and a handheld. I will have more 4:10s to sale in a week

Nicos2001GT · November 11th, 2010, 03:13 PM

CAI and a handheld tuner if you got any money left get gears

Scott2001GT · November 11th, 2010, 03:16 PM

you will feel more from gears than a CAI

yeah i know that but like he said ebfore he was a little IFFy on gears

Scott2001GT · November 11th, 2010, 03:48 PM

not point to be iffy. If your not doing gear might as well go turbo. The stock gears are good for much else.

i AM NOT IFFY ON THE GEARS WHATSOEVER. On the other hand i am wanting some seat of the pants power until i get twin screwed in april! and before anyone says it this money will not help get the charger any quicker

BLOCKBURNER · November 11th, 2010, 05:10 PM

what price range could i find some 4.10 gears in? not saying this is the route i am going just exploring

therat1989 · November 11th, 2010, 05:13 PM

I suggest 3.73s. 4.10s are great on the track with slicks but on the street they can be a pain to get hooked up with. Plus I have raced a 4.10 GT before and he stayed with me until 60 then I started gaining lengths on him.

Na save some money browse craigslist. For 500 you can get a tuner, eibachs, tb, and plenum more than likely used.
