Default New Mustang Owner...Next Step?

Just purchased my first Mustang GT...'02 about 4 weeks ago. It came with 4:10 gears. I'm already getting board with the power...what would be the next step to bump it up a notch without killing my bank account? Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Well without killing your bank account, the only real option is nitrous. Unless you have like 20 grand in the bank, then a supercharger wont kill it. Used vortech's can be found for 2500 or so.

actually your car coming with 410s kinda sucks cause you cant appreciate how the car was before you put them in .

A full exhaust will help, but if you are looking for a new level of power, you are going to have to go to power adder, gas or a nice set of cams. What is your budget? Then we can make specific recommendations.

Ok buddy here is what you need word for word and you can get them as money comes in:

-cold air intake
-75 mm throttle body
-75 mm upper intake
-underdrive pullies
-headers
-x or h pipe
-cat back exhaust
-diablo or sct tuner
-short throw shifter
-new springs
-new upper and lower control arms
-now you have to start saving your money for a s/c or nitrous. Either that or heads and cams. Cams are only $600, heads are $1000-$2000, a good s/c kit is $2500 to $5000, a good nitrous kit is $600+
