Default So....what's next for me?

Well, I have my rims. And I have my springs. So what's next? I'm weary about doing gears just bc of the possible overall price and warranty issues. I have decide that upon snagging $4500(which can be within the next year), I will get the vortech mongoose kit. However, in the process of saving the few thousand, I will likely be tempted to spend some of it. However, I know that with a s/c, it's helpful to get gears and headers. So should I get the gears/headers and THEN save for a s/c? Or is there something else that I'm not thinkin about that I should get before all of that(either visual OR performance).


any ideas are appreciated!

Honestly if you have that much money, then spend a little to get headers and gears, you prolly won't ever save up enough to get the S/C. You'll want to do some other little thing, like pulleys or TB

I'd just like to hold out on the warranty for as long as possible. If I got the s/c next xmas, I'd atleast have most of the warranty until then. I'd rather not put something on right NOW to kill it and then be screwed if something happens 3 months down the road.

you prolly won't ever save up enough to get the S/C.

it's closer than you think. With a $1750 student loan coming soon PLUS I will be working more AND january starts the busy season for restaurants, the money will come quicker than you may think

A friend of mine has an 04 GT that he runs very hard and takes it too the track about twice a month with 4:10's and has had his tranny rebuilt 3 times by Ford.They did'nt say anything about his tune or gears.

Hell he says he drives 140 mph regularly with the 4:10's and wonders why his shiat is messing up all the time.

get the supercharger... and when you blow your engine... just take it off and tell the warrenty people you dont know what happend. Then get a built engine under warrenty and slap the supercharger back on it.
