Best Bang For The Buck Mod?

built54 · October 9th, 2006, 12:03 PM

What do you think is the best bang for the buck to add power to a 2001 mustang gt 6 speed? Its bone stock right now. Lets keep it under $500. Thanks for any input!

Drgnracin72 · October 9th, 2006, 12:17 PM

hows it bone stock with a 6 speed? anyways gears are the way to go

built54 · October 9th, 2006, 12:28 PM

sry typo, 5 speed.

matrixpuba · October 9th, 2006, 12:29 PM

gears ftw!!!

built54 · October 9th, 2006, 12:30 PM

What gears do I have? What gears would be good?

matrixpuba · October 9th, 2006, 12:37 PM

you have 3:27 . go with 3:73 gears or steeper.

ok all iever read on here anymore is gears gears gears so im interested now lol i got a 96 gt auto what should i get and is this a take it to the shop instal or can someone car stupid like me do it

Another vote for gears and a tuner, 4.10's or bust!

sonicblue · October 9th, 2006, 01:32 PM

since you got a auto def go 4.10s and if you have never done it before take it to a shop it can be a pain in the ass to do. you should be able to get it installed for 200 or less just look around till you find the right shop that knows what they are doin

built54 · October 9th, 2006, 01:35 PM

I know this is kind of a stretched out question, but in the 1/8 mile, how will my speed/time be changed?

niubodybuilder05 · October 9th, 2006, 02:37 PM

the bro said he had a manuel....someone said 3.73 some say 4.10....cant we get reasons for oneo or another.

Drgnracin72 · October 9th, 2006, 02:41 PM

WELL ALWAYS 4.10 UNLESS YOUR BLOWN. I THINK A 4.10 GEAR WITH FORCED INDUCTION IS TOO MCH GEAR. SOME DO NOT. A 3.73 IS A BETTER ALL AROUND STREET GEAR. BUT IF YOUR AN AUTO DEF GO WITH THE 4.10. IT CAN CUT OVER HALF A SECOND OFF OF YOUR E.T

Fryrice · October 9th, 2006, 11:32 PM

Gears, port job on heads,or a more aggressive cam set-up. But you would need springs and a tune for the cams.

Best bang for the buck is by far nitrous.

ChrisJ · October 10th, 2006, 09:17 AM

Nitrous is fun...And pretty cheap...

built54 · October 10th, 2006, 09:36 AM

yeah... but its not anytime power... Im going to stay away from nitrous.

sonicblue · October 11th, 2006, 12:53 AM

just keep a spare bottle around in case you run out.hp is hp in my opinion

01bullitt · October 15th, 2006, 03:50 AM

do i have diff gears than a reg gt if i have a 01 gtbullitt?

ChrisJ · October 15th, 2006, 04:44 AM

If you haev a bullitt you have 3.55's...

Yeah but that is why you dont let your bottle go empty...Pus you will actually save gas running the juice...Becuase the power is not always there...You have more control over everything with nitrous...
