Where are you at Steven? Im in Jersey and Im not sure how much 93 or 89 is but I know 87 its almost in the 3's here.... I dont pay attention to that stuff that much. Its only like a dollar difference at the end of a tank fill so I like to try and not think about how bad Im getting ripped off and how expensive it is to drive lol

I'm from Dinwiddie VA, the home of Virginia Motorsports Park (NHRA sanctioned 1/4 mi. drag strip, AMA sanctioned motocross track, and a Mud Bog arena)
I was just down there with Zeke (Grn n Gry 5.0) last weekend for Fun Ford Weekend

Btw, go with the exhaust for a first mod. It's a good starter mod, and like these guys have said, 5.0s sound awesome with an exhaust.

Also, I'm from Winchester, VA and will be moving to Vienna, VA in mid July. Either one of you guys hit me up if you're in the area!

Next paycheck(2 weeks) getting my first mod ever for my stang. I either am getting springs or exhaust. I have no idea which one i want! I know its pretty much up to me, i just want to know what you would get if it was your first.

Im kinda leaning towards the springs!

My first mods on my car was suspension. I first bought my springs and put them aside until I got my struts, shocks, and bushings. That was the best thing I ever did. Stock 5.0 suspension suck *****. When you start getting for HP add on the rest of the suspesion on like sub frame connectors, strut tower brace, etc... Exhaust is cool too. Either choose is cool though.
