I think I am done modding for the year. thininking about a supercharger next spring. Here is what I added since June of last year, when I first got my car.

motive 3.90 gears
diablosport predator
k & n cai
accufab 70mm throttle body
accufab upper intake plenum
bullit suspension kit
steeda underdrive pulleys
subframe connectors
refelctive "mustang" rear bumper stickers
mach 1 chin spoiler
mach 1 rims ( so easy to clean )
interior bezel cup holder rings
nice mustang floor mats
steeda cat back
mac catted h



thats a good chunk of change.. now i got nine or so months til i pay it off and start all over.

car sits from oct til mid march.

future plans include:

a supercharger (probably will start asking all kinds of annoying questions about superchargers around november.. fair warning)
possible bottom side stripes
tinted windows

anyone else think they are done?
when did you realize it?

 

i am never done spending money on my stang, that will be a sad day

 

Oh yes a very sad day indeed.

 

my empty bank account tells me when im done

 

haha, if you want to see what I've changed on the car in a tad over a year then just look at my entire list of mods!!!

i dont understand how you fools manage to do all these mods!
I have been working as a web developer making salary money for the past year and I can't afford to do anything on my mustang. maybe it's because my wife isn't bringing in money right now, but oh well,... frustrating

 

I'm currently drooling over a supercharger (Kenne Bell twin screw) myself. My 02 convt has very similar list of mods as yours. Be advised that, depending on sc you choose, and whether you also change out cams and port your heads, your rear gear selection may need revisiting. I'm told that gearing in the 3.53 - 3.73 range is best for supercharged mustangs. Others that actually own superchargers can chime in on this...

I'm a single engineer. It leaves a bit of spending money, granted, now my student loans are starting to be paid off so I'll have to slow down. Also gotta pay my credit card bill now..... that will take a while.

 

How was the change from stock gears to 3.90's??

 

feels like you add a ton of hp. (even though none is actually added) really woke the car up, and the acceleration.

 

When you bought the 3.90's I hear they don't come with the shims or installation parts...what else did you have to have to buy before the install?
Also, is there any gear whine? Do you regret not going with the 4.10?

 

i bought everything here at mustangtuning, and when i ordered it has the option of getting the shims and stuff, so i did it.

no gear whine what so ever!


and no regrets at all. :icon_thum

 

Is that the same as the installation kit or the master bearing kit?
I'll probably get the 3.90's, I want the 4.10's but I do a hell of a lot of driving on the freeway. I'll be placing my order very soon so I want everything so I can get them installed. I hate looking at a part outside of my car!!

 

yeah, i ordered all of it at once. my car had 60k miles on it when i bought them, so reusing any of the old stuff would have been not good.

 

Did you get the installation kit or does the master bearing kit come with that and more, cause the Ford gears come with the installation kit for 189.00.
I only have 25,000 miles on my car.

 

I dont even want to look at my car right now. It took me 2 hours to fix my passanger side fog light that wasnt on correctly. My shoulders and neck are sore, arms are all cut up, and i almost threw my phone about 100 yards but i stopped myself.
Im done too...

 

You can never be done

 

It will never be over, you will just end up getting another one to hook up.

 

Unfortunately, it never ends!

 

blower, forged motor, it all happens in order lol

 

i've had mine for 3 years andi just started due to money issuses then i bought a house so now i'm saving and workin on buyin more

 

I just got my car in november and I think $4000 later i will be finished

 

4 g's. hmmm thats a nice low goal. mines like 20 g's later

 

20g's and how fast?
lol

 

motor just came in, not in car yet, ill let ya know

 

ooo what motor?? is it that 5.0 4v one thats really sweet that cost like 15 k?!

 

sounds like we are going the same route. supercharger is getting delayed til spring for me too so ill just read your posts instead of asking the annoying questions myself :lurk:

 

no its a mv motor, just the shortblock actually. ran me 4500. iron block bored 20 over, cp pistons 9:1 compr. manly h-beams, cast crank, race bearings, total seal rings, arp hardware, canton 7qt pan, cobra oil pump with billet gears, etc etc

 

wow thats pretty nice...you gonan put your procharger back on it or sell it? and how much hp does it put out stock

 

what do you mean. im going to use a d1sc with a wms powerpipe and 3.3 inch pulley. hoping for 15-17 psi boost. 500 at the wheels maybe ?? wishful thinking what do you mean stock? its just a replacement shortblock with stronger lighter components so i dont break another block but yes im using a procharger with an intercooler, 03 cobra tank fuel setup, built auto trans, ...aww hell if you want my mod list let me know
