h8_2_lose · 03-28-2006, 11:17 AM

well i finally got a mustang. its a '97 V6 mustang. its a 5-speed so its really fun to drive. anyways i was wonderin if you guys could recommend some fairly inexpensive, (but not cheap), performance modifications that i could put on my car. i have a few in mind but i would like to see what some more experienced car guys think first. thanks alot!

cold air induction, true dual exhaust, gears, t-lok, tune. That's how must, including me have started. Makes the car really fun to drive honestly and can whoop on about 60% of the compettition out there. Add a power adder like I will in a couple months and well it starts getting serious there. If you want more specific answers just ask, I'm kinda in a hurry right now lol.

do exhaust & CAI, t-lock & gears, then a tuner/chip & underdrive pully's...this few things will truly liven up your ride alot...also you should tell us what you plan to do with the car, such as autox, drag, or just a fun car that you can open up from time to time:shifty: ...

the t-lock is going to make so that both your rear wheels get power vs. only one like it does now, only gt's and cobras came with this, sadly ford skipped out on us sixers, once again...

Check gefracing.com they have great prices on gears and t-loks and their service is second to none. Oh and a lot of people call it a posi because of chevy, it's their version of t-lok. But t-lok is just an abreviation for traction Lock.
