Default 2010 Mustang GT Premium Questions

First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, this is my first time posting here!

I just picked up my 2010 Mustang GT Premium with:

-Shaker 500 Sound system (+sirius radio)
-Glass Roof
-19" Premium Painted Aluminum Wheels
-Back up Cam
-Comfort package

Also it is candy red. if that changes anything


I might be missing some things, but it has basically everything but the Navigation package

So I was wondering are there any simple mods I should be looking at to boost up the performance a bit? I am NOT yet looking to get a supercharger, but some tips on them and information would be nice.


Links, pictures, and advice much appreciated


Once again sorry if this is in wrong section, just looking for some help and didnt know where to post

Intake/Tune, Exhaust, 4.10 Gears. You'll be good to go.

checkout brenspeed.com for intake/tune packages! You'll love the new tune, it gets rid of the stock throttle lag and replaces it with instant throttle response. You will also probe pick up 20hp. Everyone on this forum will agree that CAI and tune is the best entry mod. Brenspeed has amazing customer service too. Good luck

Ford Racing gears. For the exhaust, it's whatever tickles your ear.

Intake/tune is the first route to take. Like mentioned before, check out brenspeeds web site. They are tops in customer service, and can answer any questions you may have. Congrats on your new purchase, and welcome to the forums.

+1 on CAI & tune combo, preferrably from Brenspeed. They write better tunes than most others and the combo is the best bang short of going FI.

Exhaust will gain you sound only unless you get LT's and lose the cats.

Gears, UDP's, aluminum DS....

1. Cold air intake/Tune (www.brenspeed.com or www.bamachips.com)
2. Exhaust (www.americanmuscle.com)
3. Gears (get some done at a local shop, shouldnt be more than 500 for everything including parts and labor)
4. Shifter (if manual)
5. Wheels and tires (get some big tires out back, these have a lot of torque)
6. Suspension (one of the best mods, a good handling mustang is even more fun than a fast one)

Didnt a member have a huge problem with bamachips and getting his tune? I'd say Brenspeed and Tillman seem to be the popular ones right now.

Gears, gears, gears...you wont gain "power" but it will help you accelerate faster and feel more responsive.

Do you guys recommend the Magnaflow Magnapack Catback Exhaust or the Rouch catback exhaust?

Also for the CAI/Tune which one do you recommened? http://www.brenspeed.com/05-08-musta...r-package.html

Theres those 4, and not sure what the big difference is between them. Is it really worth the extra $ to get the best 1?
