Default woot, 1st stang

hey guys, just got the first stang in the family, its my brothers, but oh well. my fiero is still faster but, i kinda like it, pretty nice ride if i do say so myself. just thought id come say hi, seeing as hes not a forum kinda guy. anyone know of some good parts for this thing? im seeing stuff in the mags, but i dont know whats good, thought id ask the ppl that have tried it before. mainly looking for a nice CAI, and a good chip. any suggestions?

thanks!

uhhh.. what year is it? he'd probably want to start off with new gears if he really wants to feel the power. those'll usually run you $500 for the gears, install, fluids, all that shat. maybe even cheaper depending on the place. then another $100 to recal your speedo. most start off modding their exhaust to get the sound they like. so get a new catback and midpipe, then CAI. whatever he does, make sure gears is near the top of his list.

aaaaaaahhhh, its a 95 srs v6 5spd.

when u guys say gears, are you referring to the rear end? im used to transaxels and changing the gears in those are never cheap

500 bucks is a bit much for my bro, he makes 6.00 an hour, so i was looking for some more inexpensive basic stuff for the guy. its his first car, and i know he cant handle too much power

any recomendations as to a good CAI and a chip? (something we can easily conceal from our dad, who doesnt want the car modded, he agrees that its too much for the little guy, but hey, i drive it too ) i figure the chip he wont ever see, and the CAI he has to open the hood for. he'd notice a nice new loud exhaust.

by the SRS are you meaning what it says on the dash, and stearing wheel? if so i do believe that means it has air bags
and as for A CAI you can get a cheap nice one off e-bay for 100 with shipping or 300 for a brand name one, ppl say that they are the same. exhaust will be a little more money, about $350+, and a chip will be a little more.
now these prices are just what i have been told. nothing is cheap, espeically he only makes $6.00/hr.

yah, it says it on both. that just means its got air bags? i knew it did, thought that was standard equipment on these things.

any recomendations as to a good chip make? ive been reading, and i see diablo, and superchips. which is preferred and why?

also, what kinda difference in fuel economy will be seen with a chip reprogram? + or -?

ya pretty sure that is what srs means.mine has it too
and as for "chips" most ppl here say to get a programmer. little more money but then you can set it to give you what you want. like more power or better gas milage.
not sure what kind is the best, i need to find that out too myself.
