i want performance and maybe some rims

[xxrals22xx]

well theres a crap load of rims out there look on ebay find a kind u like and performance well u have a list right there for u

[itschristorres8]

rims will cost you about $400-$500 for the rims and another $400 for the tires or $500
performance...best thing to do for the most out of what you have is to get a power pak($1800 adds 70hp) you could do that and exhaust and intake and other bolts on and have a pretty quick car. in the 13s for sure.

how much does cai help? my dad thinks its a waste of money but ive heard that it helps alot but i don't exactly how much it helps. and whats udp and tlok

[xxrals22xx]

so okay if i did a power pack and my car is stock well except a intake and a exhaust soon but anyways what would my rwhp be at with a power pack intake and exhaust

depending on the power pak...probably 260bhp or more

[xxrals22xx]

ok cold air intakes are not a waste of money for one they make ur engine sound better it brings in cold air which cold air is more dense so that means more u can bring in the piston to push out to create powerrr sooo yeah they only add like 1-3 but still its good to get and better gas mileage

in order for those tires to fit on your new rims you'd have to find rims that are 16x8 most likely

usually when most stang owners get rims they'll get 17x9 or 18x9 rims...the tires wont work

[xxrals22xx]

well isnt it liek 190 to fly and 164 rwhp ? so wouldnt it be like 240 give or take idk lol

[itschristorres8]

190+70=260 lol but your car might not make that power right now
look at AB's car, hes got all the bolt ons and his rwhp is 164...

[xxrals22xx]

wtf how is it 164 with all bolt ons..... that sucks lol

[itschristorres8]

needs a tune

[xxrals22xx]

so im def getting the power pack then lol if i got a shop to do it its probably goin to cost a shit load right lol
