Default Basic and Kinda cheap mods...

Just baught a 2000 Ford Mustang Orderd some 17 white billit wheels to match my white Mustang.

Its a V6 (Didnt have choice due to auction - 4000$ for emaculate condition)

I have about 99,000 miles on it and so far I run synthetic oil, BBK cold air intake with filter, Dual flowmaster exhaust (Cat-back), Upgraded boch platinum +4 spark plugs.

I was just wondering if any one here would help me to find some other upgrades for my car that ould be easy to install or take up less amount of time for under 300 or less per part. Thanks for your help.

Gears and Pausi..

4:10 gears.. I think thats like...250
Pausi or w/e is like 200

But if I were you..I'd get like 500 bucks and get a chip..

Just surf around on americanmuscle.com for things..

As far as installation.. I don't think you're going to get much easier then exhaust/intake

ok only thing wrong with that(gears) is he can't install those himself, they will never fit right and they will whine

as for a cheap mod under 300 maybe an underdrive pulley, or a handheld tuner would benefit you, especially if you are an auto.

You can get a CAI and K&N filter for about 100 bucks and a Y pipe exhaust for maybe 300 (if you check eBay)

This great site called Americanmuscle.com. Formerly know as mustangtuning.com.
American Muscle- White Rims
They are currently out of stock of the 'front' rims, but Im sure will be getting more in... (I sa front with the assumption you would do deep dish in the rear)

Some shops can't install gears correctly. You have to make sure you go to a place that has done them before and knows what the hell they're doing. I highly recommend not doing it yourself.
