Graduation $, now what to do with it?
I have an 07 GT and have all the exterior mods I want/need, got the wheels and tires, and interior. Now I'm looking for some more hp! lol, well I got $1500 from graduation money from various people and this got me wanting a CAI, comp or crane cams stage 2, new springs and retainers. This sound like a good package or would there be another package you would recommend? I don't have to pay labor, my parents said they have a friend that could do the labor cheap and he's the best mechanic around. Also considered long tube headers, o/r h-pipe, short throw shifter, and CAI (I have magnapacks). Any input on how I should use this money toward the mustang would be helpful.

I think you should put back the money for college or something oriented toward your future. I've gotten right at $1300 bucks so far in graduation money and it's all in the bank right now. Though, its very hard to persuade you on doing that when you exposed to more mods for the stang!!!
If you can't restrain yourself from saving the money, go with a C&L "Racer" Intake w/ SCT Tuner for sure. Thats right at 550 bucks or so and you can install that your self no problem. Now you have $950 to go. The rest really depends on what you want to do with the car and where you want it to stand. Do you want to S/C, T/C, Nitrous, or any type of forced induction?

I want to do f/i way down the road, but do the basic bolt ons, do cams, new heads, and stroke it also do get the internals stronger so I can crank up the boost. My dad ever since he has been working (47 years in july) has put money toward my college so it's paid for. They told me the money I got could go toward the mustang...dad had his 72nd bday yesterday and we went runnin and fishin lol

Yeah I wouldn't blow it all on the car... Its just a car, there is so much more to life. You don't drive 24 hours a day afterall.
I'd get one nice mod and save the rest of the money. Have some fun ya know?

No matter what you decide in doing, don't be stupid about it and just throw some money out there purchasing it. Do some extensive research on what your wanting so you can understand whats going on with your car. Have fun with it bro!! O yea, and happy graduation...I'm graduating tonight!!!!
