i honestly think that all the bolt-ons should be enough for daily driving....until you really want more speed then you can go F/I...plus you'll have your engine beefed up with those mods already...
get a catback, Midpipe, Headers, SCT Tuner, ACCUFAB Tb/Plenum, 4.10 gears, and maybe CAI if you want...and a nice suspension setup for the track if you want...

just remember that it IS possible to get your GT into 12s N/A....just look at the sticky in the forum...12s car is more than enough for the streets and daily drivingIMO...

Intake? Ehh maybe.. a little overpriced for such a small gain.. barely anything.. Chips or tuners wont do much for a stock car. The only power increasing options with a chip is maxing out timing ( must run 93) and tuning the automatic transmission ( if you have an auto), if you want to spend $400 for just that be my guest..

The $3000 you spend on all bolt ons could go towards a supercharger...

he doesn't want a supercharger.... Also, you can't use your supercharger to its full potential without bolt-ons.

if i did buy a supercharger i would learn how to put it on myself. and it is not that i dont want a supercharger but i dont have the money for it. That is why i was asking if there was any cheap upgrades avalible for me to get.

How much do you want to spend right now? And is the car auto or manual?

That 12's will be strictly for the track.. On the street, you will get beat by every other mid-13 second stang.

gt96 i think you're wrong because on normal tires with all bolt-ons and suspension setup you can run mid-low 13s...ive read that a few times already...remember the GT 5spd stock is already low 14s...
