Mod's For a 2004 3.8

04bluestang13 · September 28th, 2006, 04:18 PM

My budget is about 400$, what mods can i get to improve the HP and Torque, other than exhaust.

i wouldnt use the word mods...more like what mod can you get.
well you could get somethign spark plug wires and gears

with $400 i'd get t-loc or gears...and after paying for the install maybe u could get a CAI

Its a pretty big waste to do one, without the other IMO. Especially since the mods go so well together, and if you got them both seperately, youll be paying someone twice for the exact same install.

For $400 your best bet would be to get the CAI/UDP package from RPM-Mustangs for $334. You can install them yourself, or pay someone and have money left if you'd like. Which CAI you go with makes little to no difference. Expect to see ~11rwhp/tq with the pair.

for $400 get a cai, coil pack, spark plug wires, and underdrive pulleys. You should have some money left over. Install what you can install to save money, and if you have money left over save it.

well he only has $400..really i'd just get exhaust

im waiting til i get about $1,500
then im getting a about 4-5 things

with $400, i'd say Cold air, and spark plug wires, and just save up

400 bucks can get you a sct xcal 2, but you will spend 25 bucks for each new tune you need over the first one.

ill have about $400 to spend on my car, i need tires and rims bad but im looking at a new exhaust instead right now

itschristorres8 · September 28th, 2006, 10:37 PM

tires and rims, would be a DEAL for $400, it'd be a steal if you could find some nice 17-18 in rims with tires that cheap...maybe 4 spare tires

id hit th exhaust

Lind · September 28th, 2006, 10:39 PM

yeah thats the problem, id like to get 5 spoke ford racing chrome rims with the black mustang caps in the middle but its looking like $1200 more then $400 l o l

AtlanticBlue99 · September 28th, 2006, 10:41 PM

i wouldnt consider tires and rims a mod. maybe style mod, but not a "mod" for power at least. unless you run fats and skinnies and see track time often

itschristorres8 · September 28th, 2006, 10:53 PM

well in a way they are. im not tryin to start an arguement but they are a modifation for better traction

how? sticky tires maybe, or wider tires, but most aftermarket wheels are heavier and larger than stock and will slow the car down

itschristorres8 · September 28th, 2006, 11:00 PM

**wider tires
i shoulda put that, but they'll help with traction, as for performance...0 increase
