new here! please help me!
so i jsut bought a 99 mustang gt. im new to the ford world and want to get started! i want this car to be a nice cruiser, and im afraid of nawzzz it will blow up my enginez
where to start with mods? i know i need to get a cold air intake, but which brand is best? the ebay ones are $20 and the ones from performancericer.com are $450...they must be better huh?
also, i want to do full bolt ons, because i only have 3 grand to spend on the car right now...but i was thinking of gears...what gears are better, 3.73 or 4.10s? im thinking 3.73, i dont want to get 5mpg LOL
also, i want to get an upgraded performance shifter. i was looking at b&m rippers and a jegs custom short throw shifter...does anyone know anything about these???
how much hp will i have with just the shifter and light up windshield squirters? how about after i add all my modifications on? what times will i run? im a REALLY good driver
yea i know, people say its impossible to be a good driver at age 17, but trust me i am. all my friends say im a badass when were chirping second gear and not losing control of the car.
should i upgrade my tires? im afraid to DD on my drag radials, i dont want to die.
sorry for all the questions, im jsut new to this, i used to be a chevy guy, but not ever since i drove my mustang!!
any other advice to make my car one phat whip? i already ordered a steeda double step race wing with functional downforce ducktail addon, and my 22x7" enkei wheels will be here on tuesday
im so excited to get modding on my first mustang, and i cant wait to hear all of your guys' advice without ever hitting the search button or scrolling the first 2 pages of the forum!! help me out!!!
