Okay so birthday is in April. Would love to get some performance mods but can't really think of much besides an udp for the amount I have to spend on birthday gifts.
Parents $300
Grandparents $200
Girlfriend $100
Other Grandparents $200
Aunt/uncle $150ish

Here's what I was going to do: Parents- Tokico blues
Grandparents- full length subframe connectors
Girlfriend- Either clear corner headlights or tail light tint
Other grandparents- Satin door inserts from autobadges
Aunt/uncle- probably tune up stuff, fuel filter, spark plugs/wires, seafoam.

So I was wondering if you guys had any performance mods that I have overlooked. Maybe windstar intake or something bigger combining a gift from parents/grents/aunt/uncle. Like cam/head or something idk. I could do lt's from the parents, high flow cat's from the aunt/uncle. Gaskets, mils and such from gf. $200 gift card for dyno tune from grandparents. Take $200 cash from other grandparents for install. Wondering what you guys think I should do, just looking for some advice. Thanks.

LSD and gears

I was thinkin about that but I do alot of highway driving so was kind of leaning away from it. Plus i have heard bad things about the tlock and can't find a auburn or detriot unti anywhere, plus those are like $500. Considering that option though. What are your rpms at on the highway with 4.10's at 75-80mph. I would probably go 3.73's anyway for better mileage. But id really care about mileage for now because as bad/spoiled as its gona sound I don't pay for my own gas.
I could do tlock from parents, gears from grents and take $200 from other grents for installd and still have gf aunt/uncle for some other stuff. Deff want the tokico blues though.

Weigh your options.

Do you want some rumble when you hit the gas, or to be held back in the seat slightly more, or would you rather have the car stick to the corners more?

Personally, If your doing a lot of highway driving, and are worried about gas, I would get the Tokico Blues and LT's/exhaust.

Not too worried about gas, cz I don't pay for it so considering that just wondering what my rpm's would be like on the highway going 80. Wish I could just get them all. I got $600 in the bank I can throw into the mix as well. Don't really want to but if I get a lt's and posi gears then I will probably use that money for tokico blues/flsfc's

Not a bad list, not going to get you anything in gains, but it will make the car look better. A windstar intake isn't going to net you much, almost be better off taking off your upper/lower intake one day and porting it yourself. It will take only a few hours of work to take off and put back on your intakes, but will take around 4 hours to port the thing, so be prepaired for a long day or two day project for not much in gains.

Thanks J, that was my real only concern. i was looking at my list, and though I would have a better looking mustang, but not more performance which is why I was asking around on here. Skeptical to get a tlock as suggested because I don't feel like having to buy another one and pay for the install again if the first one blows up but can't afford a better unit, I could throw in some of my own money for one....

Yea good list not much power though. But still definately good stuff to do

Shaunmac9128

Think I might do that stuff now and wait till christmas...even though like 9 months away for a posi/gears then lt's for birthday next year or something like that. Not shellin out 1 grand of my own money just yet...need it for college.

Oh, tid bit of info on the satin plates, they look great, actually that's an understatement, they look outstanding, however, get the satin over the polished, the polished will scratch easier and is harder to keep clean (I went satin btw). Also, be very, very, very careful when putting them on, push too hard and they'll dent. Also, if you have to take your door pannels off, again, be careful, they do ding fairly easily, don't really have to worry about hitting them with your shoes though, they are fairly out of the way.
