Hello I am new to this thread. I'm looking for alittle bit more performance out of my 2000 mustang. I already have a cold air intake, typhoon intake, undersized pully kit, coil packs, and a 75mm throttle body. Any recommendations on next upgrade. Should I start to upgrade my clutch?

Rear gears and some suspension stiffening/upgrades will really wake that car up

Skip the pulleys and skip the coil packs for sure.

Do you have any recommendations for gears? I'm assuming it has stock gearing

3.73 if you drive a lot and 4.10/4.30 if you don't fear the gear.

A happy medium in rear gearing would be 3.73's you'll notice a big difference from stock and gas mileage won't be very affected

What they all said -3.73's, you can always add taller/shorter tires to make small differences after the gear swap

Had 3.73 in my 04 GT. Got 4.30 in my mach. I can only imagine how quickly a gt would run out of rpm with 4.30s.

I've ran 4.30 in a stockish 2v. It was not bad. Got low 20mpg on the hwy. It did run out of rpm if you were not careful.

We run 4.10 in our n2o car but it also rocks 28inch tall slicks.

My current car has 3.73's and its a good combo (auto car).

It all depends on your combo and end goal. Basic bolt on car, run as much gear as you can, going for more mpg in the 1/4 mile, then do some calculations as to what your desired trap and which gear you want to be in.
