soooo... Best 1st performance mod to get?

V6_Mustang_Power · 03-22-2008, 10:22 PM

sooo i have all the "show" now and no go at all. first performance mod you would do?(under 600$$) was thinking 4.10's and a T-lock and i'd get them installed and get the tuner later on. or springs but i dont want to have to pay 1,000 for shocks and springs and c/c plates. i could do the c/c plates and springs but i wouldnt have the money for the shocks/struts right now.

i'd go w/the 4.10's and t-lok. i think it cost me around $800 for everything. or u could start piecing together ur shock/strut/spring stuff.

igniton, exhaust, tuner, new plugs and wires, intake, that should be about close to 600 and make a huge diffrence unless you have 225 rear tires your not gonna need a tlock yet but hes right gears DO help alot

If your still planning on getting a V8 in the near future hold off and don't do any performance mods

i dont think i plan on gettign a V8 for years or until my stang isnt driveable lol. im happy with my 6'er, it gets looks and their isnt anyone around here gonna tell a diff. between a GT and a 6'er. plus i dont plan on racing or anything. so i'll keep my goodlooking sixer, low insurance, and good mpg. i wanna build my sixer up here and there... suspension, power and so on. im happy with the visuals...i wanna get the the other stuff now.

I don't think both are gonna fit in the under 600$ budget.

V6_Mustang_Power · 03-23-2008, 06:55 AM

it is just a budget for the moment.

01FR500 · 03-23-2008, 07:01 AM

I'd go with the gears route also. It was the "single" (gears, t-lock, tuner) best performance mod I made my to sixxer.

If you can install the gears yourself, and you buy the nitrous used.....yes. Otherwise, mor elike $1000 for gears and nitrous if you go with something like a ZEX.

spike_africa · 03-23-2008, 09:45 AM

Skip the bullshit mods and spray it and make it actully allot faster.

Yeah, but I seriously doubt most of these guy would want to touch a gear install. And a decent wet kit with a rpm activated window switch is gonna be right at 600$. Plus I would rather do a tlok than gears any day.

01FR500 · 03-23-2008, 01:01 PM

I would not let an inexperenced person install gears. You'll proabably end up paying more in the end for what ever gets screwed up. Not saying it can't be done, but I wouldn't install gears on my own car in a million days. Also, I should put this in the for sale section, but I have a dry zex kit that I have been wanting to sell. Just in case you do decide to get some spray. I bought it used and never used it.

V6_Mustang_Power · 03-23-2008, 06:20 PM

ohwell anyway... i have a pretty set plan

. heres my mods list

Cheap CAI
4.10's
T-Lock
SCT 3 Tuner
H&R SS Springs
MM C/C Plates
Bilstein HD Shock & Strut Package
