Default First Mod to 2007 Mustang V6?

I've got a 2007 Mustang V6 and I'm wondering what would be the best first mod to increase the performance when I save up some money?

I would do it in this order:

1.Cold Air Intake with a tune from either americanmuscle.com or brenspeed.com
2. 8.8 rearend out of a GT with 4.10s (and while you are having that done I would also do underdrive pulleys)
3. Dual exhaust
4. Lower your car and upgrade springs/shocks/suspension

While you are doing those, throw in a fair mix of appearance mods and get performance tires.

And most importantly, happy modding!

CAI/Tune combo like everyone says.

Check AmericanMuscle.com for their combos

The front/rear GT sway bar upgrade with the poly
bushings will show the most for your $$ handling wise.
34mm up front to replace the 31.5mm V6 bar and a
20mm GT rear to go where you have no rear sway...

17" or 18" rims and a lower profile/wider tire will go miles...
The CAI and tune will just hurt you unless you can control
the added power on the marginal OEM V6 suspesion.

I wouldnt worry about the plugs wires and coil pak- great way to waste some $

CAI+Tune FTW

Tho throwing amsoil ATF in a t5 really makes it happy
