Default advice on what to do next??

Hello all,
Brand new stang owner! Very excited. A little info about what i have and what i want to do. 07 GTw/ aroush s/c,and magnaflow exhaust. Not out to race, but im sure the more i get into all this i will want to run it at the track for fun! Since i am new to all this, i was wondering what to do next? Talked to a buddy whos got a stang and says suspension is the next step?! Any other ideas,i want to get a smaller pulley for a 1-2 lbs boost increase and a cold air intake. Guys have any other mods i can do? Be gentle tho, i know i can do alot, but just for someone starting out!

And for the prolly most important question, does anyone know a good tune/performance shop in the tamp/st.pete/sarasota area. live in sarasota, FL, so one local would be best. there is a dude, around the corner from my familys offices, beleive its heffners performance. think they do most work w vipers tho. can anyone help a brother out?!?!

thanks for the replies in advance...

I think you're on the right track with wanting to upgrade your suspension.

Is Justin @ VMPtuning too far from you?

Heffners have a great name but I would prefer doing this with a guy that do our cars everyday. Maybe is worth the trip.

just looked into VMP tuning on google and see its in debary, looks to be just north of orlando, prolly about a 3 hour trip for me. Downside, thats a 6 hour drive to and fro, but the upside would be the drive back on the interstate after that sweet custom tune!!!! [sm=gears.gif] Ill let ya know what i do....thanks for the info!!!

Yeah you cant go wrong with a dyno tune. If you get it; get your other pulley on and the cold air intake on before you do. You dont want to have it tuned and then start changing things around. Know what I mean...
