Default WHAT to do next?

So right now I have an 04 mach 1..
Mods:
03 cobra motor with diamond pistons
Kenne Bell at 18# and have pulleys for 22#
C4 transmission with 4200 stall
Rear end is finished already
Full suspension minus sway bars
And alot more but those are the main mods..

I'm stuck between getting aftermarket sway bar, meth injection kit, new catback system (i have mac dumped right now), swap the C4 out for a built t56 so I don't drive on the interstate running 3500rpms lol. Any other recommendations are welcomed!! Orrrrrr possibly a cam swap?

well i like my meth kit..it sprays at 10psi and i just watch the temo gauge drop below half just a few seconds after it starts spraying i think its a good cheap investment...i would also do the tranny that would annoy me running that on the freeway lol

You also never had a fast car in your life.

OP, I'd look into cam upgrades and more boost. Also, that c4 has gotta be hatin' life at your level. If you want it to stay a 1/4 mile only car, I'd do a TH400, or if you just want to enjoy your car, and don't really care about ET's, then go the t56 route...

Get a full maximum motorsports handling package. once you drive in a car with handling mods, it's amazing.

My vette mechanic pal says he can't believe my car is a mustang when he drove it.

My suspension is pretty well set for the strip thanks for the recommendation though!

I am on the fence between different catback and a meth kit.. I'd love cams or manual tranny but I don't really want to push the budget that far right now.. maybe this summer.

mfj how much do the c4's handle to the tires typically? When I got it I always thought they were pretty stout auto's.. No issues yet at least (crossing fingers)

I don't have a "for sure" answer, but at over 650rwhp, my friend's 9 sec Cobra started slipping pretty bad in 1st, from overpowering the tranny...
