Default new parts for the stang

well just got some new parts for the stang. I already ordered and have a set of 4:10 gears for the rear, and a sct tuner. Also ordered a MGW short throw shifter. Getting ready to buy a professional products intake plenum and throttle body on Wednesday along with a set of BBK Shorty Headers (getting a good deal on em so dont even ask "why not long tubes). I also just purchased a mach 1 grille delete and chin spoiler to add to my appearance. So wish me luck everyone on my quest to more hp.

1. 4:10 gears
2. SCT Tuner
3. MGW Short Throw Shifter
4. Professional Products Plenum & TB
5. BBK Shorty Headers
6. Grille Delete

I think those mods will be very good for your supporting mods you already have. You will really notice a pretty good significance in all of them in my opinion. The gears along with tuner are going to compliment each other very nicely. When my brother got 4:10's and an SCT Tuner for his auto 99, he was blown away by the results. Shifted so much harder and just felt better through the gears. The Chin spoiler and grill delete are going to finish the front end of your Mustang. The shifter is just going to make your car easier and much more fun to drive on a daily basis. I had a Pro 5.0 on my 98 and compared to the stock throw on my 35th I just picked up, it was an ease and much more fun to drive around it. You should also find it a little quicker when racing, on the track that is.

Be sure to post up some pics and the gains and differences you noticed!!

suspension: full length subframe connectors & LCAs
or
Rear if you race: 31 spline upgrade
or
Tires: not sure what you are running now but an upgrade to a stickier tire could be very beneficial.

With $400 to throw at it I would probably do sub frames and/or lca's. But sway bars I think would be a super nice addition for every day handling on a Mustang. New headlights such as HID's would also be beneficial for a DD and looks as well. There are a lot of things do do soI guess its up to you man!
