Default just wanted your opion.

so i have not spent any money on the stang in a long time. (mostly because I am poor haha)

but im going to get a cheap mod for myself for my birthday at the end of the year. im looking to spend around $100.00. i was looking on AM and was between a mach 1 chin (onsale) or a bbk under drive pully from AM. what would you pick and feel free to make other suggestions as to things to get.

P.S. its a 98 black v6.

thanks,
tristang

Chin spoiler. UD pulleys are also shitty for your accessories too.

Chin spoiler. I seriously think that spending money to make a v6 faster is a waste of money unless your going to go with power adder and spend serious dough. And I spent (wasted) a lot of money trying to make a v6 fast, so, experience.

Gears are best bang for the buck, IMO. That's the only thing I should have done to my v6. The reast should have been suspension and appearance. CAI, Exhaust, ok, but ****'s gonna be weak son, no matter what. (Not that a near stock GT is quick in todays world either.)

Of course the gears are best bang

CAI? i would rather get UDP's I bet you will feel more gains with the pullies than the CAI

UDP probably does give a bigger gain than CAI, but if you ain't got a CAI in the v6 Mustang game, youz a nobody, don't even talk to me. LoL.

UDP will eventually **** up your charging abilities in a 6 unless you have a HO alternator to compensate. I have an ASP UDP and it killed my stock alternator within a month. Wish I would've known beforehand because I would not have gotten it. The GTs are really the only stang that can handle a quick UDP swap because of their better charging abilities.
