Cool First Mods for a new stock 99-04 GT

Just signed up here. First of all, glad to join you guys

Im getting a stock 99-04 GT very very soon and looking at which mods i should get first. Pretty big newb when it comes to this stuff but this is what ive picked up so far.

1.CAI
2.Gears
3.Pullies?
4.h pipe? or x?
5. short throw shifter (for sure)
6. TB?

Later on..

1.Cams
2.Headers
3.valves and valve springs (dont know much about it, what to get, whats best etc.)
4.Supercharger+MAF+Intercooler

And one more question, Could you super charge from the beginning if you have the right amount of money to do it?


*Can blow off 4grand from the beginning*

Supercharger and gears first. Also look into the $1500 supercharger kit sticky in the pipes, boost, and juice section. If you have money left over, subframe connectors, lower control arms, exhaust, or short throw shifter. Start with the blower...then go from there. Make sure you get an intercooler with the supercharger.

Start off with just a k&n filter no need for a whole cai... then exhaust (o/r x or h pipe and a good catback system, i like straight through mufflers), then gears and handheld tuner and from there it is up to u

also for looks consider a mach1 chin spoiler and grill delete, window tints, and wheels/lower it

U will have a good start on having a BA stang

If you are willing to drop 4 grand then just get a supercharger. If not get gears and a tuner first, they really wake the car up. Then do exhaust.

Apparently summit has a vortech kit for like $3100 new, so you might want to look into that and just buy it and pay to have it installed right off the bat and worry about the other stuff as you go.

Besides the MAF and Intercooler. Should anything else be switched out/added to have a supercharger?
