Default Mod bug = nightmare

Hey guys,

Ever since I did my first mod to my stang, I've constantly been thinking about what to do next. Right now I'm sitting here at work, practically stressing myself out because I keep thinking tires/tuner/new cd player/rear seat delete/longtubes/shorty H. Do you guys always think about what you want to do next? This mod bug is killing me...it never ends

Hell yes I do. Right now I'm thinking shorty o/r h pipe, o2 extenders, locking header bolts, and the header gaskets so I can put my long tube headers on. O and a new cat back, gears, tuner and all the other stuff thats no sooner than late summer.

Do wheels and longtubes...other than that, save for a big mod like a blower or something.

I need to get a tuner so I can calibrate my damn speedo because the speedo is registering 23498234598439845 miles everytime I drive to work and back home...

Then add the tuner with the exhaust and get a tune for them. I'd say that you go to a local dyno shop and get a tuner through them and have them tune your car for all your mods, including the longtubes that you should be doing next

I did the same thing when I did my longtubes. I was going back and forth between Kooks and ARH. I knew I didn't want no cheap bbk or mac on my car and finally went ARH ha. I also did the same thing when i was trying to decide which upper pulley brand to go with and size lol.

Yeah, sitting here going intake or LTs...or maybe wheels...or maybe...and the list goes on and on. Really though I am in desperate need to get the brake lights fixed and get the interior swapped out. I am tired of that stuff sitting in the garage.
