Top Ten Ways to make your stang faster?

I was wondering what are the top ten best ways to make a GT faster without nitrous or supercharger?

This is from another thread asking how to get more hp... after those I think you need to start going bigger like Headers and Cams which get pricy as well as things like a supercharger/turbo and nitrous.

Tri-Ax Shifter: 0 hp
UPD's: 8 hp
Intake Spacer: Waste of time...not needed with the plenum
X-Pipe: 10 - 15hp

A stock GT 5 speed has 225 hp, so these mods would give you about 40 hp tops for a total of about 260 rwhp. However, in reality expect about 245 - 250 hp.

Your value of 248 hp is simply not possible on your car w/o those mods unless you have added heads or cams or something significant.

If you look at my mods which are all of the above PLUS a high flow catback, CAI, and an SCT tune - I am lucky if I have 265 rwhp.

You will loose rwhp with gears, but don't loose any sleep over it. It is really an effect of how the dyno works with a gear ratio in 4th that is no longer 1:1. It is really not a hp loss, but rather a limitation of a dyno.

Since you asked how to make your car faster, as opposed to making more horsepower (which aren't necessarily the same thing), I would highly recommend a tri-ax shifter, a different ring and pinion ratio, tires with better grip and a locking differential of some sort. You don't know what "hooking up" is until you get a better-than-stock differential.
