If you have a 5spd, look into some 3.73 gears(4.10's for an auto), a T-lock. Next best mod would be a UDP and a tuner. Those mods are by far the most noticeable and worth while mods you can do to the V6. After that if you are very serious about getting somer power out of your car, pick a power adder(nitrous, super/turbo charger) and start saving.

yeah thats what im thinking in getting those 4.10 gears and a tuner first. do you have a preference when it comes to a tuner?

I don't have one on my car, but from what I have heard from many is go for the SCT Xcal 3.

yeah thats what ive heard too. i want to do a lot but there is only so much money if you know what i mean...

oh I do, it is a very vicious cycle to start modifying your car, once you start it won't ever stop. I would definitely start with the gears if you can, they are by far the best mod for you, since you will be stepping up from 2.37 gear ratio to a 4.10 gear ratio, which is huge for you pre-99 guys.

haha yea man. but im sure i wont stop modding it once i start but im just glad i finally have a mustang. i really dont care about getting a gt or not bc of insurance bc a mustang is a mustang. i paid it off by myself not bad for a 16 year old huh?

not bad at all. I have had my car almost 4 years now, so it is time for me to move on to a faster mustang, and start a new project:)

yeah hopefully. Right now I am looking at a basically stock 97 cobra, as well as looking at a pretty well modded supercharged 98 cobra(not sure I want a modded car, kind of want to do it my self, I mean that is half the fun right?).

98mustangv6 05-31-2008 10:43 PM

thats all of the fun. getting the car is only half of it. doing stuff is the rest of it. but man ill talk to you later im out.
