Default First mods for an 03 Mach1

Just got an 03Mach1, upgraded from a 94 mustang GT

What are the typical 1st mods that I should do?
I'm thinking Shortshifter/SLP Exhaust/Intake

Anything else I should do?

Gears (4.10s) and a short shifter (MGW, Steeda, Pro 5.0) are the two most fun mods. Then you could do exhaust, intake blah blah blah

i think for someone that is looking for performance only.

1. shifter
2. exhaust
3. gears

i wanted looks first. so i got springs, rims, tints, headlights, and foglamps first

then wen with shifter, and exhaust.

long tube headers ftw, plenum tb, and i would go with 4.30 gears not 4.10s, 4.10s on a 2v and 4.30s on a 4 valve. you have the bigger rpm range with the 4v than 2 valve thats why i say 4.30s and look at this http://www.alternativeauto.com/misc/...ct_dec-05.html these guys know there s*it

Ya that is Lidio's car, he's the shop owner. He's a pretty nice guy, I've seen him around the streets with that mach, its quite impressive to say the least. The first mod I would do to the mach would be FULL exhaust.
