Hello there Im new to the Mustang world lol, But anyways i have myself a 2003 GT that i just purchased and I am ready to start beefing it up but dont want to spend to much money all together would like to spread out things. I already Orderd a K&N CAI here Tommorow I was thinkin and doin some re-search and this is my conclusion but probally not the right one and if someone who has done these upgrades be willin to head me in the right direction that would be great heres me plan on upgrades in order
1. Full set of Pulleys 22% overdrive on water pump and 8% on alternator a Plenum and TB all together lookin at $400
2. Diablo Preditor Flash Tuner, Set of Spark Plugs, Coils, OME Connecters, 500* Boots Lookin at around $500
3. Then lookin at 3.73 Gears Lookin at $200 MAYBE CAM's at that time aswell that'll ad prob $300 or so but
Tell me what you think of my opinons, Again I am not really V8 minded I know about them just dont know what Goes best at what time.

Like 02 Ninja said, Just gear, and tuner, dont waste your money on coils and plugs unless your getting into alot of power byadding a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous, because it will do nothing to a stock 03GT.---IMO

RE: 2003 GT first upgrade
Im really interested in what people feal are good group setups every 2 weeks for the next 6 months like i said i will be doing group purchases leading up to the S/C so If u have ideas try to put them in groups Like the Tuner and coils with 3.73s or the Plenum TB and pulleys or Cams and driveshaft then think about rearend what comes in good groups keep them in groups of 2 or 3's and around the 600-800 ranges
