Default First mods ?

I have an03 GT 5 spd. It ran 14.01 at 101 - 102 last year stock on street tires. I'm thinking of doing a lowering springs, 3.90 gears, and a chip. Any thoughts on where that will put my 1/4 mi time?

Why are u getting a chip so soon? Is that ALL that you are doing to your car? If so, nevermind that question. If not, then WHAT THE HECK ARE U THINKING!!!

No need for a chip. the 3.90 gears should get you around 13.5-13.7 if you hook. Goodluck.

well you have the wrong plan
1. drag radials
2. 100# wt loss on the car
3. lowering will not help
4. 50/50 rear shock 70/30 strut
5. battery in the trunk
6. loosen the front sway bar
7.lighter rims
8. syth oils
9. 3:73's
no since in added any hp til it hooks
13.60's

</P>


Gears are good, Springs to lower for looks and handling good, but why the chip? How about your intake? How about Exhaust? Why not do UD pullies? Timing adjuster? Just a few things to get your Stang rocking.</P>


Whoever gave you this advise is way wrong and the rest of the guys would agree.</P>

I figured I'd help out Vfast w/a little revising<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">. There is only 200rpm difference between 3:73's, &amp; 4:10's, &amp; that little bit of a difference won't effect your gas mileage. What WILL is a heavy foot. Starting off in 2nd when just cruising around, &amp; not falling out of your power band past 120mph are all pluses in my book.</P>
