Default what mod should i do to get better acceleration?

i have a 00' V6 stang that has V-force dual exhaust, and cold air intake. im looking to get my acceleration alot better so what should i first do? some people say pulleys, some say gear change. give some feed back on these two or if other things would be better without making me broke for the rest of the year!

Yes, go with the gears, just be sure to get the 7.5 inch gears since you have a v6.

t-lok= traction lock. It's ford's version of GM's posi. Basicly allows both of your rear tires to put power down instead of just one. It's a huge help in launching and just makes everything more fun. I don't know if MT sells them try gefracing.com they have it and it's a really good price. That's where I got my 4.10's and t-lok.

V6+gears+spray=GT Eater!

'Course, the bottle will run out and you can't spray all the time, but a great cheap way to make lots of power. You will certainly surprise a few GT's.

im considering getting the 4.10 gears soon but have some questions? how much faster is it going to make my stang and how much is the install gonna typically cost me? im not to worried about the gas difference as long as it makes it faster! im tired of getting beat by random cars and those damn camaros always reving up at me. anyways hit me up with some feedback plz.

Install was around $600 I believe I don't know it's been awhile since I got mine done my junior year in high school. So it was about 4 years ago. You can expect to lose about .3-.5 seconds off your 1/4 time. Which is nothing to sneeze at.
