I am new to the Mustang family. I just purchased an 08 GT, 4.6L V8, w/ GT premium uprgrades. I just dont seem to really feel the jump when accelerating from a stopped position. Did I have high expectations or do I need to add upgrades? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful as I am an newbie.

Would upgradeing my air intake help?

 

depends on what you're looking for and what you're used to.
Adding mods always helps...either economically or performance stand points.


auto or manual>???

 

automatic

 

Sticky tires, stall, tune, suspension mods and bolt ons and you launch without traction control I garuntee you'll feel it yank outta the hole

 

Well, automatic tranny is your first problem lol j/k

if you're finding 300 horsepower too boring, what was your last car?

 

install a low stall converter, cai, upgrade your ignition system, work your exhaust and you should feel a huge diffrence

 

i know it was only a matter of time until I got **** for having an automatic..lol... It is fun to drive believe me but i traded my gto in for my first mustang but I thought that i would have seen a better difference in the mustang. Believe me though I love my pony a lot more than my GTO but maybe the automatic is the difference that i am feeling. If I could have bought an manual that night I would have it is just to long of a story.

 

i appreciate the info.

 

CAI + Tune, and Gearsis a good start, especially with an auto.

 

best bang for the buck would be a gear. night and day difference. my opinion
