RE: top ten ways to make your mustang gt faster
CAI + tune
Gears
Exhaust system (headers, midpipe, axelebacks)
Supercharger
Lowering, wont help speed but handling
New tires (again power is no good if you cant lay it to the pavement)
Underdrive pulleys
Cams
Turbocharger
Thats not 10 but Ill save some for other people (plus I cant think of any others off the top of my head)

Supercharger or turbocharger, both of which are very expensive. Cold air intake (CAI) and a programmable tuner such as SCT II or Diablosport Predator are probably the best bang for the buck.

I dont know if I would say gears make the car faster. All it does is change where the car is fast and slow it down in other areas.

To me a CAI and tune are the only cheap ways of getting power out of these things.
If I stay NA. After I do the CAI and tune, it is time to tear into the heads and cams if more serious gains are needed.
But, given the costs and work involved, the SC seems to be a much better option.

I dont think I would do both without pulling the whole damn motor. And I doubt I would ever take the car that far unless it grenaded from a bad SC tune which hopefully can be avoided if I SC it.
