Default What to do next??

Well I've had my car for a little over a year now and have mostly focused on appearance until now. I have dual exhaust and plan on getting the CAI/Tuner, but i was wondering what else i could do to give my pony a little more pick up. Its my DD and i am only 17, but have a consistent job and want to spoil myself before im a broke college kid what can i buy?

Well you could get a Throttle Body to go along with that intake and tune, make sure you get a custom one. Depending on how much money you can save a supercharger or turbo isnt outta that question. Headers if you are going to stay naturally asperiated or go with a supercharger, I personally love mine Chinese specials work just as well as JBA cause I got mine off of ebay. You could also get a Tlock or a 8.8 some would say get some gears to go with that but I wouldnt but that is all personal preference.

Here are you some things to think about anyway

Your next step after the CAI & tuner should be some form of T-lok & gears. After getting the CAI & tuner on my 05 Mustang V6 the one wheel spin became impossible for me to live with. First gear was just all one wheel spin, no traction at all. The T-lok makes all the difference in the way the car now launches. I didn't want to go too wild with the gears so I got an 8.8 w/3.55s from newtakeoff.com. You don't have to get an 8.8 rear but you can get the parts for your 7.5 rear, just have them done by a competent installer. I also installed a shaftmasters aluminum drive shaft mainly because I have an 05 Mustang(no clips)but the car is so much smoother now I glad I did it. Get the CAI & tuner first though, you will love what it does for your car especially if you have an automatic.
