Default So help me plan my first mod...

Ok I didn't get the track pack so I have 3.31 gear (manual), and everything else is stock. I'm having a hard time deciding to get 3.73's, roush's stage 3 suspension kit, axle back exhaust, or CAI and tune. I plan on getting all of this but just wanted some suggestions for the first mod.

Thanks

I would go for a huffer for your first mod, kill a bunch of birds with one stone!

I bought a 3.31 also, and regretted it. I my first mods were.
Exhaust

Then I got a tuner and CAI kit. Then lowering springs and 4.10 gears.

How do the 4.10's do on the highway? I'll only drive the mustang during the summer and don't really plan on taking any long road trips, but will drive some highways. Its a toss up for 3.73 or 4.10's\


And yes 3.31's SUCK

I'd go with a tune first, just makes the car so much more fun. I've got the 93 Tillman All Out tune and 3.73's and the car is really responsive. 4.10's would be tempting if I was switching out the 3.31's.

Huffer is slang for a blower!

The 4.10's are great, I also have the tillman all out tune 93.

It's all around amazing and worth it. Your RPM's will be higher at very high speeds, but at highway speed 65-80 youre really not going to notice much.

I'm waiting on the an oem hood scoop to come in the mail so I can get it painted and put on. Then I'm done for a while.

Next would be UD pulleys, throttle body, short throw shifter, electric water pump
