oh yes i forgot about that, i'm not trying to build a mad racing machine, i want to keep it in the streets. I'm trying to just go with bolt ons, i don't want to take the engine apart. So yeah, i want it to be a street driven, i basically want to know what are the best bolt ons to get.
Man, you are in for some paralysis by analysis if you are asking for opinions here. We all have different opinions... AND we are ALL RIGHT!

In other words, you may get some conflicting answers because some will give you the best way to GO FAST, others will give you the best way to MAKE NOISE, while others will give you the best way to LOOK GOOD. You will have to decide what you want to do (first). Eventually you may want to do something in each of those categories and you can get lots of information and opinions on Mustang Forums.

A very good suggestion is to also find a local Mustang Club. Depending where you live, you may have a few to choose from. Where do you live? For the small membership fee most clubs charge you can get ten-fold back in face-to-face opinions, hands-on help and other fun stuff.

Oh yeah, my opinion... The first thing to do is MAKE NOISE. A Catback exhaust, possibly an X-Pipe, and possibly headers. Lots of choices and the Forums have lots of information. How far you go in any area depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

Good Luck and welcome to the Forums. You will never be the same again!

4.10's if your AUTO, 3.73 if your 5 speed. Well ok 3.73 if your 5 speed and supercharged. With 4.10's your shifting at a lower rpm (supposed to be, lol) and you wouldn't benefit from the 3.73's because you want to be able to shift at higher rpms to get the most out of your SC boost.

You might be able to get away with 4.10's for the 5 speed, but I stuck with 3.73's.

Like others said this is soo full of opinions on what you should and should not get it's nuts. Listen to everyones opinions, then decide what you think is beast and don research on EVERYTHING peope recommend. Go off facts and experiences, which we are pretty much have, oh yeah WE'RE ALL RIGHT, lol.

Don't EVER do anything you don't want to, to your car. Make it your OWN unique style. Alright off the soap box now, I need to copy and paste this in a file so I can reuse it instead of typing it all the time, lol.

If you are looking for the best bang for your buck modification besides nitrous or a SC, get gears! You'll crap yourself when they are installed!

4.10's preferably!

Alright guys this is my car (i hope this works) it's really dirty right now because it's been raining for the past month ,and you know how hard it is to keep black clean. By the way it's a 5 spd. manual. Don't hate on me because of the bodykit, i bought it like this, all i added was the fog lights
