Default IDEAS FOR MY GT?

I am looking for some good ideas for my next couple upgrades I have only had the car for 3 months and I have gone mod crazy lol look at my sig. when I got the car it was stock lol. but first off next i have planned is 5.0 shifter, control arms, and subframe connectors. some day i hope to get the kb 2.1L setup so keep that in mind also it's a daily driver so no 4.10s that'll kill my mpg. so that a look at my signature and tell me what else i should go for thanks

If it were me (considering you want a Kenne Bell down the road) i would get some 3.73's and long tube headers. That way you can enjoy the little extra snap, power, and sound now, and not have sacrifice or change it later.

I agree. I would also do a 31 spline upgrade when you get your 3.73's done.

With traction and good driving, you might drop 2-3 tenths or so with the 3.73's. Even if you stay n/a the gears will be a great all around improvement, and are definantly worth it imo.

Wow, that's a grip of mods in 3 months. You must be single. My wife would never let me get away with that much in 3 months.

I've got 4.10s in DD and it drives great. I lost about 2 MPG which is worth it to me for the added performance. I recommend 3.73s or 4.10s. You wont be disappointed.
