i have a 2000 mustang gt with:
mac prochamber
flowmaster mufflers
steeda tri-ax
frpp 4.10s
slp line lock
i was thinking about springs, shocks, struts, upper and lower control arms, and a good set of slicks. any idea on what that would do to my 1/4 mile time with my current mods. i havent gotten a run in yet with the new gears, but i thought i could use some help with traction. any suggestions on what i should spend the money on? i was also considering a set of cams, but i dont know if it is worth it with the few mods that i have. and finally does anyone have any idea what a good port and polish would cost.

i would get springs for sure, can't believe i waited so long to get mine. maybe pulleys & a sct chip, if u haven't already gotten a speedcal. i love my chip, bumped up timing, no ses light ever again, corrected for gears, etc. unless u are goin for all suspension mods. i don't have the guts to do cams, still my daily driver.

That depends on what you use the stang for. street driving? drag? a little of both?
Either way, get some springs!
