So I have a stock 2000 GT, with about 90k+ miles on it. Needless to say, like every other 'stang owner...I WANNA GO FAST. Im starving for some rice So my ideas are in these steps:

1. O/R X-pipe, Flowmaster Super 44's dumped with dummied tips for stock look
2. CAI
3. Long tube headers
4. Larger Throttle Body
5. Predator programmer

Im also thinking of replacing my shocks and springs with coilovers...

So that being said, any suggestions, comments, or rude remarks?

 

Also what is considered "full bolt on"

 

Pullies just don't buy piggyback style and upper plentum, gears should be first on your list will round out your bolt on list. CAI won't do anything other than looks.

I would do your full exhaust, pullies, gears, with a tune. This will wake your car up abit.

 

^^ what he said, 4.10 gears, shifter if it a 5 speed, then full exhaust and pullies. you will have a dang good running car then. and yes, lower that thing asap

 

T/b
Plenum
Cai
Full exhaust
Pullies
Headers
Gears

 

As stated, do the gears, exhaust, and a shifter first, these are all weak points that could use improvement. The intake side of our cars flows pretty well, a plenum, t/b and cai will only get your about 10whp which you could get from a tuner or even more from full exhaust. Have fun with the coilovers, it's not as easy as it sounds. You need to buy a tubular K-member loaded with tubular a-arms and all that jazz, better off just getting springs and shocks in my opinion.

 

Gears first, exhaust second, shifter for a 5 speed/tuner for an auto(sct or sniper, no diablo), lowering springs, tb/plenum upgrade, then if youre a 5spd get the tuner. After that you wanna save for a blower or whatever power adder you wanna add in the future. And in the midst of saving you might want to look into new wheels and tires to hook up with the gears and some lower control arms. But start with the exhaust and gears first, then see where you are and go from there.

 

I was actually looking at 3.73 gears as this will still be a daily driver. Ive been told before that i really dont need a short throw shifter and i think i shift fine...just my opinion.

 

Exhaust, gears, tune, MGW shifter. Really, after you get an aftermarket shifter you'll wonder why you ever thought that stock one was ok. Do not spend money on a CAI.

 

4.10's...dont be a baby. I have 4.10's and want to go 4.30's on a DD.d
