i just bought a 03 mustang gt on friday and i was wondering what i could do next on a budget. it already has steeda exhaust, headers, C&L air intake, throttle body, lowering springs, struts, and some adjustable plate where the strut tower is idk what it is called. but i don't want to supercharge or any thing. i want to make torque and horsepower gains. and also some suspension upgrades.

 

Welcome to MF! Throw some 4.30 gears in it!

 

Welcome! Yep some gears and a tune.

 

alright i was think something along those lines. and i also rather have more torque bc i like racing red light to red light and on a track not wide open roads any other ideas i was thinking like a sub frame connector and some strut bars or sway bars

 

Definitely sub frame connectors. Makes a huge difference on our cars. Just remember that gears are essentially a torque multiplier. You will get into the power and torque curve much quicker, and fall back into it much better between shifts. In a nutshell, it will make you faster.

Also, you might want to look into drag radials so you can hook...especially since you're a light to light kind of guy. Those with the gears will make a huge improvement in that area.

 

alright and sometimes when i am on the freeway and when i go to get on its like the transmission is slipping and the traction control pops up but my tires are not spinning. why does it do that bc my transmission needs to be serviced

 

That doesn't sound good. Is it not under load, and sound like it's revving free for a sec when this happens?

 

yea but it does not accelerate

 

^ not true. how much highway driving do u do. alot of guys on there have 4.10's and tell you there gas milage is great

 

Gears, first number should def start with a 4, 4.10s or 4.30s IMO.
