What mods?

Ok, so I have about 800-1000 bucks saved up, and can't for the life of me, choose what to get.

Choices are most wanted to least:

1) CAI + Tune from bamachips
2) Fays2 Watts link (its fighting the CAI + tune for first) Corner carving FTW!
3) rotor upgrades and probably a chin spoiler

would it be smarter to buy and install watts link before LT headers or vice versa?
Key word eventually... I can't decide if I need more power, or more handling now...
well your car already has good amount of power and in the handling department it pretty much stands alone at the bottom of the list.
I say JLT with X-cal 3 from Bamachips. It will make you much happier than the Watts Link. CAI and tune should be everyones first mod!!
JLT & Bama or Brenspeed tune on an Xcal.


and a picture of TheUNZippee! to hang from your mirror. :yes
First choice, unless you plan to supercharge later. Could always use the tuner.
Nah suspension first. These cars are lacking in handling. Suprising an M3 in a turn would put a huge smile on my face.
The stock GT's pull .87 g's on the skidpad. That's a pretty good number for a 3480 lb, 27k car.

True, but I want my handling to be a little crisper. I came out of a 2003 330ci before my stang.

06Vista- I think even if you plan on FI in the future, unless its in the next month or two, its worth it. The JLT isnt that much, and you could always sell it. Just my opinion

Nothing wrong with wanting more. lol

But perception is based on perspective, isn't it. You came out of the Beemer...I came out of a Focus. So to me my Mustang is like an F1 car. rofl :p
Even compared to my 98 Gt with some suspension mods, the 06 handles awesome.
I'm going with the cai then... I can probably buy the Watts link in a month or 2... if I don't upgrade my PC as well...
Your computer is already crazy fast. Why would you upgrade that?

New GFX is out thats about 1/4 faster than mine...
No real need to upgrade your computer, tuner is fine. CAI kit and tuner would be my first pic, but you want to work on better handling then get the suspension first. Like stanglifemike said..can always sell the CAI kit and can always use the tuner.

Right choice there man...all I have heard is the cai...saving for mine now also
small update

I scrapped the CAI + tune idea... I've had such a bad time dealing with my dealership for warranty issues, I just ain't gonna give them the chance to pin any engine issues on the CAI. And yes, I'm still rather doubtfull of the build quality, seeing all my troubles with the car already, and don't care if you guys burn me for that comment.

I'm gonna order the Watts link instead.
have fun with it duder!...what do those things weigh anyway?
don't know... all I know is that better handling = lots more fun :D
