I hit 10,000k on the 2010 GT and want to do a performance upgrade
Hey guys,
This is my first post on this forum, but you guys seem knowledgeable so I am posting for some suggestions. I have had my 2010 GT mustang for about 4 months and have roughly 10,500 miles now. As of tonight I ordered a roush short throw shifter and have been looking at making a performance mod. I would rather not void my warranty, but would like to get a good bang for the buck. I am by no means a gear head, so any help would be appreciated. Would love to gain 10-25 hp just to give me a little extra edge.

the stock cold air that come with it after a drop in k&n filter with a good tune will get ya about 12 more hp, i spent the 400 extra for a new cold air only to find the stock was done right by ford, had mine done on a dyno by same guy and the 400$ one got me about 3 more hp, but that is with a 87 tune you can do better with 93 but i wanted to save on gas prices.

The CAI & tune is the biggest bang for the buck short of going FI. The next best combo gainer is cams & LT headers (assuming you can lose the cats). Other than that it's all nickels and pennies.

Speaking of gears, how are you set for torque out of the gate? That's a good bang/buck upgrade. What rear did you receive/order from the factory?
I know -- it's not an HP upgrade, but folks who upgrade the "torque factor" say there's no going back.
