<FONT size=2>Just finally got my first mustang. A 1999 Atlantic blue gt with 35,000 miles on it I have been itching to buy one for the last five years, since I was 15.
Anyways. I love the car but would really love it if we could get it into the low tens. To accomplish this we are thinking of going with a vortech supercharger 75 shot of nitrous, pulleys, 75mm throttle body, ram air intake, superchip, sallen computer, steeda suspension, bbk headers and a few other things. My biggest problem is finding a gear setting and exhaust, and tranny that is going to match up with all of this. I still want a car that is drivable on the streets but realy quick when needed. Oh and do I need to change the tranny at all. Any help on how to boost this cars performance is appreciated

the 4.10 gears will pin you to your seats if a set of slick was to be wraped around you back wheels.</P>

Well I'd like to keep everything under 15 grand. I'm pretty sure that should do it
