I know lol. I will one day, in due time. I need to make a thread soon to see how much this costs, I think that will be my next mod.

And to Blood, yeah if you have any questions, just ask. I've been on these forums for 6 years now, and the people here have been the most knowledgeable out of anyone else on the internet when it comes to Mustangs. You're at the right place. There's lot of things I've learned from here, things I'm still learning, and things I still have yet to learn right on this forum.

Purple, why 4:10 gears? Why not just keep stock ones?

Gears basically help with your acceleration, and will wake you your car. They don't add HP, but with a RWD car, they def help with acceleration. I believe these cars come with 3.27 gears stock. The most common set of gears for our Mustangs are 3.73's, which is what I have, they give you a decent jist of acceleration vs stock. And 4.10's, which give you a really nice jolt of acceleration.

This is helpful if my explanation is too vague.

Thats a good deal really, fortunately, in my area mustangs are super popular and we have a Mustang SPECIFIC performance shop, they only do stangs and lightnings. LOL lucky me, but I bet they will charge out the *** for anything.

4.10s/tuner/offroad midpipe/good tire/suspension/short throw, and you have a hell of a quick car.
