Default Need some help with mods... Please?

Below are all my mods that i will be buying over the next few months untill i have them all. Ya see my mom is buying my current car from me for my brother... She will be giving me more than enought to buy a 95 gt. Untill i find the gt i want for a good price with little miles im going to be buying up all me mods. I have about 7,000 to put towards my mods. I will be saving to get more money but right now thats what i got. I need some help in buying my mods because i dont know if my mods are complete. This is my list of mods i plan on buying in the next few weeks and i need to know if i should add some things, or if anyone has some suggestions for me. Im not looking to get a S/c, nitrous, or stroker kit at this moment in time. Basically i need to know if I NEED anything sensors, what kind of plugs i should get, what kind and size maf should i get, anything added to my suspension part of it. Any help is appreciated due to the fact that i am pretty new to the mustang world. Not new to cars, or installations, just the mustang. I did search also, didnt find out what i was looking for.

that looks like a pretty good list, autolite plugs are fine. Do yourself a favor and just run stock plugs. When you go to mount your ignition box, try and locate it somewhere other than the engine bay, like under the pass seat or something, do a search of threads. can i ask why you want 3.90 gears?

3.90s are a little to much if its gona be a daily driver. I'd go with 3.73s or 3.55s if you still want decent gas milage thats what I have and I get around 19mpg and im at like 2k goin 70 in 5th. But if your cars an Auto then 3.90s should be fine

The guy's about to have around 300hp, I doubt he's worried about gas mileage. If you buy a 5 speed, get 3.73s. If it's an auto then get 4.10s.

My DD has 4.10s and I have no regrets.

With that ammount of money You should just get it supercharged from the get-go. You will have more fun with it. If you decide to charge it later half of the air delivery mods will be wasted $.
