Default 4:010 gears/predator first mods?

I seen a few videos of a mustang GT with 4:10 gears,exhaust and a tune and was quite impressed with both the sound and the performance. I thought about these to be my first mods when I get mine.

Kinda curious about what other mods I should do for the most fun factor,not looking to be the fastest GT around but something that's still quick enough around town,on the freeway (top end!) and will smoke the tires everytime I get on it.

Just out of curiosity,what kind of numbers are full bolt on GTs putting down to the wheels and at the track (1/4)??

I would go with the CAI & Tune and then add the 4:10s. I would also do UDPs and Aluminum driveshaft as well. After adding the 4:10s save for a new set of tires as well.

cold air intake and tune, then gears... like everyone else said...!

12.82 at 106 with plenty of bolt ons... (intake, tune, lt headers, x pipe, catback, tc, springs, ud pulleys, cmcv plates, 3.73's, auto)

only based off of what I have read, people with just intakes and tunes have been able to get into mid thirteens to high thirteens... which is really good in my opinion.
