Default done modding the stang

Hey guys, due to a recent $3600 accident, the rising gas prices, and of course the rising insurance premiums im probably done modding the car after christmas. Parts are just too expensive, a grand for headers, jeez. Hopefully by the time my insurance goes back down parts will be cheaper and ill be able to afford to do what i want to it. I guess for now Im satisfied with 304 RWHP.

I always tell myself that after every mod I do... But now I'm saving for a SC. If you are satisfied that is good though.

The only way I could every stop modding this car would be to get rid of it.

Be safe and best of luck over there.

All of the mods are expensive[&:]If someone is just starting to mod their car I would suggest a SC first. If you look on the KB website it will show that there is no inherent value in any other mod. I have Borla's for the sound and that is it. No long tubes just get thr KB

yeah i forgot about BBK headers, pretty cheap and decent quality. Meh, maybe something to look at. I really wish i did my homework and saved all the little HP mods for the supercharger (130 for CMCVs, 600 for CAI/Tune, mufflers, o/r H pipe 300) easily be a grand closer to the supercharger. Oh well, ill do my homework next time.
