Default Help with the mods...

OK. so i just bought my 2000 mustang gt. and trying to decided what to do with it first. i want cold air but a couple people have told me that if i run cold air without chipping it that the motor will run to lean and cause damage. any thoughts? also. i want to do new gearing in the rear end. i have 3.31s right now and want to go to either 4.10s or 3.73s. but i have heard that my year of mustang perform better with the 3.73s. again thoughts?
thanks guys

Well, what are you going to be using the car for? What kind of money are you looking at spending? Daily Driver, mixed use, 1/4 mile? I'd say for a daily driven car 3.73's would probably be optimal. For your car an intake, x-pipe, cat-back, gears, subframe connectors, and a tune you would be pretty happy over the way it sits stock. Don't forget about good tires.

well. im lookin for a mixed use. and money eh the less the better but doesnt really matter. i already have dual exhaust with magnaflows cat back with an h pipe. and the new rims i just put on i did 275s in rear and 245s up front. subframe connectors tho that makes a big difference?

If you already have the exhaust put on the CAI and get a tune. Welcome to the forums.
