Default Time for some upgrades!! Need some feedback

Hi guys!

After reading a lot of the posts on the forums. I'm ready to do some upgrades on the mustang. Just want to get some feedback on what to do and the setup.

This is what I was thinking about doing:

1. Suspension
H&R Super Sport Springs
Tokico HP Series Front Strut
Tokico HP Series Rear Shock
Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates

2. Exhaust
MAC 2.5" Cat Back with 3" Tips
MAC Off Road ProChamber
(probably going to weld in high flow cats)

3. GEARS
Motive Performance Plus 3.73 Gears
Motive Installation Kit (8.8in)
SCT SF3 / X3 Power Flash Mustang Tuner


Other ideas ?


What do you guys think?

Do 2 and 3, then add FLSFCs and LCAs. Don't put cats on your car.

I would like to supercharge it but I probably will just do basic bolt ons.

Sounds good to me...but if you arent going to supercharge, go with 4.10's honestly. And get the MAC catback with larger exhaust tips so it doesnt look like stock.

I was stuck between 4.10s and 3.73s. I know that's a big topic on the forums. I thought 3.73s would be better to go with.

Nitrous i would still get 4.10's. and if you need more gear, get a taller tire, which will also help with launch.
