Default First mods on my 2012

2 months and 2900 miles later I've installed the Steeda shifter and the 93R tune from Bama. I've had Steeda shifters in my past Mustangs so it feels very familiar and much better than stock. I love the 2-3 shift now as that was my biggest problem with the stock shifter. Reverse is a little harder to get into, but is not too bad. Install was fairly easy and had no problems. The Steeda is a little noisy but nothing that I wasn't used to with my '97. Where the stocker felt flimsy, the Steeda feels much more solid and you can row through the gears with confidence. The Bama 93R tune definitely impressed me! Throttle response is much better. I didn't think the engine could rev any smoother but it does with the tune. Car definitely feels stronger. Shifting into third would just chirp the tires (the Pirellis actually hook pretty good), with the tune they break loose now. Next mods will probably be a CAI, and o/r H pipe. I'm loving this car so far!
