you cant really get horsepower without giving up milage good start would be gears and a limited slip differential and exhaust

Go for a dual exaust , Air intake, or pullies. Those are some good things to start out with.

if you're concerned about MPG, you shouldn't have bought a mustang. the v6, in some cases, gets LESS MPG than the GT.

A free hp gain that you can feel.
Remove the rubber air horn , that goes from the air filter area to the inner fender.

seriously does that actually add hp? instead of sucking in the cool air outside of the fender you suck in the hotter air from the engine bay.

haven't people reported actually losing MPG and performance from removing the silencer? i'm assuming that's what you're talking about.

I'm not really "concerned" so to say, I was just wondering if there was a way. It's ok that it would get less mpg buti was just wondering.
