Default what now?

Okay, I have a 94 Mustang GT auto and have only done a few things to it so far - nothing big... I have a BBK cold air intake system, BBK underdrive pullys, american thunder 40 series catbacks, bbk shorty headers, bbk offroad xpipe, and thats about it. I'm looking to eventually get cams butI want to look at otheroptions also.What would be a good next step and not too expensive? I've been told rear gears, cams, intake manifold, and throttle body.... any ideas to what would be the best for my buck? Thanks

i would do gears.....if its not a daily driver and not driven on the highway i would get 4:10 gears (thats what i have and i love em) if it is a DD i would prob get 3:73...it would make the biggest difference and it is pretty cheap

First off, you only have one cam But anyway..
If you want a huge difference that you absolutely can feel and will love, then get a set of 4.10 gears and get a shift kit. You will LOVE the way the car feels after that. It will accelerate a lot faster and will chirpthe tires when shifting from first to second. You'll love it, especially when it throws you back into teh seat a little when it shifts from 1-2 and 2-3.

You're not going to be lifting the front wheels or anything, but you will feel the difference and I'm sure you'll love it. Those were some of my first mods when I got my SN95 auto (gears and shift kit.)

I've heard that getting 4.10 gears is bad if u drive the car everyday... and I do. It's my only carsince im 17. Would you recommend the 3.73? Also where could I get a shift kit? I actually just ordered a B&M auto hammer shifter if thats what you mean?

You can get a shift kit nearly anywhere. Just go online and look for a TransGo Shift Kit or a B&M Shift kit.

I have the B&M Hammer as well. It compliments the shift kit nicely.

You'll be fine with 4.10s but you can always go 3.73. I actually have 3.73 in mine but sometimes I do wish I had gone with 4.10, lol.
