Gears, CAI or Throttle body?
I have a Manual V6 2000 mustang. I recently put on a new exhaust system. I went true dual with magnaflow mufflers. I was wondering what you guys sugguest i do next i was kinda torn between gears a cai or a throtle body. I know a cai would be the easiest and probably the cheapest but what would give me the most bang for my buck?

But if you do a lot of highway driving I would go with the 3.73, and CAI would be the more popular mod to do next. Throttle bodies I've heard don't do much... I can't really say cuz I don't have one, and havn't seen any one around my area that does. But I would say gears.

and just to add the cai and the tb aren't going to have any noticeable affect.

manual don't need anymore than 3.73's in a v6. 4.10's are overboard for a regular driven car.
the Trannies that come in are v6 manuals a T-5's that are geared really low. there is no need like the GT's to go to 4.10's. The T45 they use i dont think is geared as low.
with 3.73's i was 70mph at 2400rpms.

I have the t-45 and I went with 3.73's. If I had a v6 I would have gotten 4.10's.

no your car will not top out at 70mph, I would imagine somewhere in the 125-135 range, as far as gearing/rev limiter is concerned, but more importantly I don't know if we have enough hp to get there in any hurry, we would need a really really long road, lol! Not 100% sure, but I am sure someone on here knows the exact~ top speed with 4.10's in the auto tranny on a single port. Oh and since you have an auto, most guys with autos go the route of 4.10's.

LOL tell that to my tires. i get thrown into boost like a 12 year old boy at catholic church meeting.
3.73's are plenty. 4.10's are recommended for auto's but not manuals.
