I bought a 2002 GT Convertible, 5spd, triple black stang. It has already flowmaster exhaust and a bbk cold air intake.My question is this.... Where do I go next? I was thinking 3.73 gears first. I want to eventually supercharge it but the money isnt there right now. so how do I upgrade with limited money resources. Thanks!

Throttle body and plenum is a good cheap start.
I got a 75mm set up with spacers for 260.00.
An H-pipe or X-pipe
Mass air and a tuner would be good.
3.73's are great if you plan on going Supercharged.(make for nice stop light fun as well)
Aftermarket Pullies as well would be a cheap quick few HP.
After all that a decent sparking system & some traction devices are great.

Sucks that ford cant set us up from the factory.
So unless your rich its one well chosen part at a time!!

everything rc5522 said is great. my combo is as follows;
75mm and plenum
diablo sport
off road x
catback
k&n intake

with just the few bolt ons its made a TON of diffrence. i have pullies i need to put on also.

Gears first, then tuner and shifter. Save the mass-airRC522 said for when you have the money to supercharge really not that big of a deal with bolt ons unless you go with a bigger set of injectors right now. A new midpipe would be nice too in order to free up some exhaust flow.

Yeah the mass air is probably gonna be my last minor bolt on before going blown!!!

You'll normally get a new MAF with an s/c kit. Or do you plan on piecing your own kit toghether. I have a 90mm SCT big air 2400 MAF that is calibrated to 60# injectors and set not to peg. Might I recommend you look toward www.jmschip.com for when you decide to get blown. I have been happy with them.

With three mustangs under my belt over the years and all the $$$ consuming items I was steering away from blowers due to the 5.0's capabilities and cost.But these 4.6's im starting to think that a blower would be a clean HP upgrade its the damn cost that has'nt had me researching one yet

I hear you on that. I just happened to get lucky and married a woman who thinks that letting me play with my car is something that I need to do in order to be happy so... she let me use some of our home equity loan to force feed my GT. Little does she know that all I need to be happy is to be fed and given a little trim here and there. But, hell I'm not complaining about having a wife that thinks my car is cool.
