Talking OK...Got the CAI/Tune Combo....Now What?

Greetings MF'ers...........Recently purchased my First Mustang, and loving it !

I immeadiately installed a BBK CAI and a Custom Bama Tune from AM, and loving it !

So, whats next?

2008 GT 5 Speed........

What do you Guys think is the next Performance Mod that will give me the most Bang for my Buck?

I'm not doing much Appearence Upgrades because I enjoy the stock "Sleeper" look.....while at the same time...I want some "Big *****" under the hood.....Haha!!

Sorry GUys....a SuperCharger is prob not in my near future

Don't have a ton of money to spend, just looking for a little more performance whever I can get it....

So what do you think? Gears, exhaust......??

Thanks All........................


SoCal

Gears! Either 3.73s or 4.10s

Some tint would look good too

What about gears, lowering springs/shocks/struts?

Not alot of highway driving...really enjoy launching this beast....so I guess I'm more of a 1/4 mile kinda Guy !! Haha

Soooooooo...the age old question........3.73 or 4.10 ?? I know theres much debate about this........

Either way...it seems Gears are an affordable upgrade....with new gears, will the car launch better or just smoke the tires easier?

I think you answered your own question 4.10s

They make you accelerate faster. If you have crappy tires, it will be easier to break them loose
