you all have seen me rebuild my rear end with FRPP 3:73's. i was just wondering which my next mod would be.

1. Suspension. sport shocks + struts, lowering springs. i found a kit for 700 bucks.

2. Powerpak from Super Six. Cam, heads, intake.

 

Go before show FTMFW

 

suspension isnt just show...

 

yes, sport suspention increases ride quality and handling characteristics.

 

suspension first... then get some new rims and tires.

 

but i love my rims.

(that, and my Kumho Solus's are still brand new...)

DUDE. i am gonna so get that. springs, shocks, struts, AND anti-roll bars for over 500 bucks, with shipping. gonna get it.

 

I would do the power pack first then do suspension after that. And you can get those parts separately for less if you look around. I got my Bullitt springs for 50bucks front were new and rears were used.

 

I have that suspension kit and I like it but I would go with the power pack first

personally I would buy the split port swap kit from the garage sale section and then a 99+ power pack that would give you close to 100 extra hp

it will run you about 2500 for 100hp if you do it yourself that's better power per dollar than a supercharger

 

i would look for a more agressive suspension kit. try stangsuspension.com

 

if you have the money get the powerpack...

 

wow, 350 bucks for the extras needed for a split port swap...i would require saving up a bit...

 

the power packs cost over 2750.00

 

It's better to do the split port swap because then you have more to go on later single ports just can't put out as much as a split port


That why my engine is done until I either go split or put in a new motor hopfully a 4.2

but that won't happen till I have enough cash

 

power first. cause suspension and bigger tires and rims will only slow your car down further.

 

How much is that power pack?

 

ranges from 1800 for the level 2, to 2700 for the level 3+. i am gonna go with the level 2, because i don't need the highest level.

 

Go > Show

 

suspension is not a SHOW mod. i got a set of blistien shocks, h&r springs, maximum motorsports CC plates, and new bushings and the car handles much better and is lowered about 1.5" in fact, since the car came with the bolt ons (exhaust, CAI, UDP) i'm going to concentrate mostly on suspension with this mustang, in preperation of getting a major power adder.

 

man im saving for the same powerpack stage2 i cant wait till i get it!

 

True, but handling doesn't add much GO. It might help you get off of the line a little, but I've always considered it more of a show mod. That's just me though...

 

you get the right suspention, you can have a great road handling car, and that is what i am aiming for. i like to drive my cars on twisty roads, like a road-race built car, part of the reason why i got 3:73's.

 

go FTW!!!!!

show FTL!!!!!

 

road racing still needs power otherwise I will pass you on the straight away no matter how well you do in the corners.

my friends dad's 650rwhp 03 cobra has proved this many times over.

 

Suspension = go in an auto cross

Suspension = show on the road

When I got my bullitt package I noticed that I could corner far better on race days than I could before but unless I am playing aroung (being stupid) I don't feel it on the road

 

But I believe that every v6 is incomplete without a rear sway bar.
