if you wanted torque then why did you go with 3.73's instead of 4.10's or 4.30's [&:]
Word. You can put some nitrous in your car. That will cure your torque problem. Or supercharger or turbo. Just power adders. More then likely the more $ you spend the more hp and torque you get.

Nitrous will indeed give you some MAD torque.

Well let me just say i have spent about $1000 putting the 5.4 in. Thats done, finished price. I am choosing to drop another couple of hundred on a tune, but its not needed. Bang for your buck thats the way to go. Other than than, nitrous is the way to go man. No doubt about it. you will be more than satisfied with your car with a 100 shot on there. Your car will last forever too. 100 shot will not hurt it. Anything over and your pushing it, without a tune. Since I cant affort the sc for my 5.4 right now, i think im gonna get 100 shot of juice.

mayb he wanted some top end along with the torque i had 410's in my car i couldnt go anywere i actually saw my gas gauge go down 3.73 best gears for mustang
your full of it too bud, i have 4.30's in my car and i have no problems with gas mileage.. the reason i bought them is because my brother has 4.10's in his and it just wasnt enough.. so you go ahead and keep your 3.73's and keep thinking that..

Some people really like the gear swap thing. I'm glad I got the 3.73's but even at that gear level it seems to have made a 'granny gear' out of the 1st gear. I guess if you're drag racing it would be the thing if you're really conserned w/getting into the higher RPMs but I'm glad that I didn't go w/the 4's. But to each his own.

Im asuming you mean basSani headERS right? Bassani is a great company, but there are many different Cheaper options. Ford racing makes headers, and so does JBA and BBK. Look on ebay, and if u have a quesiton about a brand, ask away and we will help you. The catback is way to broad to discuss now, but most popular are slp mangaflow borola flowmaster,etc(sorry if i left anyone out).
Thanks man. Yeah, I meant basSani. I definintely need to shop around. You know, I didn't know what kind of hobbie I was getting myself into when I bought my car. I thought it was cool just to have a sports car w/a v-8 in it.But it's expensive!

I hear ya man. The mod bug got into my skin, and i went nuts. Seeing that im 18 and had an afterschool job, it took me about 4 or 5 months to get all my shiz in. Please feel free to ask me about my mods, cuz i have alot to say about them. I went in the right direction with each mod, but i wish i woulda got other things than what i got. i.e. gears headers.
