Hi guys, im new to the 4.6 (about to buy a used 2001 gt), and i was wondering if you guys had advise on free/cheap things i could do. Im really excited to mod, but im low on cash at the moment. Any advise is much appreciated.

get gears, bout 150 for parts labor can be from 150 to 500, look in to an o/r pipe, thats an easy do it your self thing

what gears would you recommend? its an auto (i know, i know, but the price was right) i looked it up a little bit and i saw 4.10s might be bad in the long run.

4.10's!!!! They rock!!!! As for the auto im not frowning you, if you plan on drag racing you'll LOVE the auto!!!! I have a T-45 and I'm going to a auto next season!!

i have an auto with 4.10s and my gas mileage is the same as it was with stock gears

Bolt

ok thats good to know. whats your rpm at the normal driving speeds? say 45, 60, 70, 80? the wallets getting thin already :P

First thing (in my opinion) you should do is replace the stock mufflers with an aftermarket cat-back. Actually getting to hear the car's exhaust makes it worth the $$. Gears are kinda sorta on my list also

Gears will really open it up. I have 3.55 gears and I love them. 3.73's are usually considered the best bang for the buck for daily driving.
