Default Need Some Suggestions/Ideas

Ok, well Christmas is right around the corner ( [sm=happy046.gif] ) and my dad said i better start making a list...So i need your guys help!

Right now i've got an 06 gt with a c&l cai and 91 octane tune from brenspeed...

Now..what should i get next!? ( No superchargers or anything like, because that's way to expensive. )

Should I go More power or handling/suspension?

What would you guys get?

Please post your ideas/suggestions!

Thanks.

why 4.30 why not 4.10's?

Right now i cant hit 75mph in 2nd gear, what will i hit with 4.10/30s in 2nd gear? Will i have to shift a lot more from 0-80-ish? Will my top speed be affected and if so how much.

if im doing like 70 and step on it will it accelerate faster than it does now? or is it only for 'off the line' acceleration?

because all mustangs after 01 have the t3650 5 speeds, and 5th gear is a complete dog at .62, 4.30s will be a bit quicker, will take around half to a full mpg worse then 4.10s (so 3 all together maybe if that) and you will be under 3k at 80, but its a modular motor, so they are rev happy, the best part is it will allow you to actually use 5th gear and not just have the car fall flat on its face
