Default Mechanic surprized me

I just bought my gt about a week ago and I just took it into the shop to show my friend who work's there. The dealership said it was stock and it was a female driver before me, so I guess he assumed her being a female she wouldn't want to mess with the car in performance. Well needless to say he was wrong. Just from a glance he spotted roush under drive pulley, FM spark wires, bbk headers and a bomz cold air intake. This is my first stang, and I haven't looked under the hood of one before, so I didn't know. It's going back into the shop for a tune-up real soon, and possibly to find out some more goodies, so im happy .

yep it will pull alot harder. look at it this way stock gears are resisting the engines ability to rev now if u get some 373s etc it will be less resitant cause the engine will turn a extra turn for the same speed

this is really starting to **** me off, my sound card blew last weekend, so i purchased a new one and it's not working, come to think of it alot of my usb ports and pci slots aren't working, I think i blew my motherboard... in other words... no usb= no camera linking. I have about 20 pics of my car still on my camera and no means of putting it on my computer. I'm gonna take my camera to a friends tommorrow and try to upload it on his cpu. but in the mean time i need to save for a motherboard
