Nitrous is definatly the best bang for the buck.
If yer not into nitrous you could throw in some 4:10 gears and get a tuner.

these cars are pretty pricey to upgrade. what do you feel like spending?

Well, just because you can spend $350,000.00 for a pair of Wavac SH-833 tube hybrid monoblock power amplifiers for your home stereo doesent exactly mean that $15,000 for a good dual channel solid state Mark-Levinson amplifier is a reasonable amount to spend.

lol....

Seriously... its about 30 bucks a HP at its best with these cars. That gets expencive pretty fast. You can spend 1,500 on boltons and yer still not much faster than stock. lol

I see your point, but in the big picture Mustangs are cheap to mod...when you compare them with other brands of cars. But its all $$ in the end....and yes $30 per HP is a lot.

I am a firm believer that every Car should have a power adder, because well . . it adds power.

bolt ons arnt worth the time, and big engine mods wont do too much untill you have a power adder.

SO, that being said N20 is the cheapest.

tlok, gears tune and a 100shot of N20 (NX) will throw you into the 13's if you can drive i figure thats the cheapest way

Well I don't think he'd want nitrous..nitrous only gives you power for a few seconds, I think he wants it all the time.

if your looking for foglights I found some nice ones from VMP Tuning that are clear and clean-looking, to match my headlights, and its a full upgrade for 6's, wiring and all to an OEM switch that mounts below the stereo....probly to one of the dead buttons(I hate those) for about $155. Dont know if it's worth it, but I want fogs that look stock and everything and it looks like a good price. Here's the site:

well consitering you only go WOT for a few seconds, it would stand to reason that you would only need the power for a few seconds .. . right?

are you asking what WOT means? if so, it means Wide Open Throttle.

(I couldnt tell if you were asking or you were saying that you knew now because of Teal's post)

WOT = wide open throttle

to elaborate on my arguement, you dont drive at WOT all the time, obviously you dont use 100% of your horsepower all the time, regardless of your power adder etc, so why is not having N20 100% of the time a problem?

Oh..well, you could say that N20 is just like a temporary steroid, that isn't actually a part of the car...which means you just driving a weak car with a few seconds of power from a source that isn't in your engine bay... I don't know, I give up.. here


Hehe

Hehe
eh diffrent strokes, bottom line is that as long as you have a full bottle, you can spray whenever and were ever you want to, and make more power for less money.

Cant argue with a car getting 100extra hp and almost 200 extra tq with a $350 mod.
