Any one of "the big three" tuners will make you happy.

I run bamachips tunes, 87 perf, 91 torque, and 91 race.

I did exhaust first, then tunes. The exhaust was nice, but it wasn't complete until I had the tunes. Then once I got the tunes, I upgraded to Stinger mufflers haha

VMPtuning.com has a Mustang V6 cai/tuner package for $479.00. THIS IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE CAI/TUNER OUT THERE! Even if you never go to the track the benefits of a tuner are felt more on the street anyway. With the automatic you have a dangerous lag on downshifts, terrible throttle response and soft shifts. The tuner will get rid of all of that. This will make your car much more fun to drive. My around town mileage has stayed the same(18-20mpg and I don't drive easy)and my highway trip mileage went from 24.5 mpg to 29.1 mpg(87 mileage tune). Even with the 3.55s my highway mileage is 27.6 mpg. I run the 93 tune as my DD. As for an exhaust system keep your GT muffler and save for a FRPP dual exhaust kit(M5230V6).

rpmoutlet has made MANY unhappy customers. some have been happy with their service and goods, but i suggest you do not take the risk of dealing with them.

Looks like I'm going with the CAI package. Seems more beneficial, and hopefully I can get the exhaust later.

Yea get the CAI/Tune and save up for a full exhaust like the FRPP and possibly a GT rear bumper at the same time.

I have the Bama C&L/X3 and I love it.

CAI/Tune=More power to the pavement
Exhaust=Head turning sound

You choose, I always say exhaust should be the first mod to any mustang, but the choice is yours. Can't go wrong with either.
