First HP project this spring for my GT?

[Lex]

Hey everyone,

its been a while since I been here. I had my GT since last spring and besides a K&N CAI the stang is pretty much stock. I want to add HP but want to start in the right places. What do you suggest I take on this spring

Subframe connectors
lowering springs
3,73 or 4.10 rear gear....then let the hp mods begin

Ditto on Wally, I know you don't want to hear this but, start w/preventative maintenance first and foremost, hows the fuel pump, ball joints, spark plugs, injector rings, so on and so forth, I wished I had started there before spending thousand of dollars on mild garbage!

Slap on a supercharger before anything else then upgrade everything else as needed. Wish I would have done that instead of waste my time and money on bolt ons.

How much power are you looking to add? How much money are you looking to spend?

Thanks for the feedback! Definetly starting with maintenance makes alot of sense. I was looking at starting around 3000.00 , But the maintenance may chew that up All good. My first stang was a 90 2.3 then a 99 3.8 and now I got a GT so I actually put thought into upgrades.

I bought my car used and never got a decent history. Is there a guide to see what I have for a rear gear ratio. I doubt its nothing more then stock. I think a spring kit and 3.73 would be my first wishlist. I saw a kit at $260.00 Does that seem right. I love advise so I'm all ears. I'm not in a hurry for HP if my car can't handle it with out upgrades.

Subframe connectors should be first. Then springs and gears. That will set you back roughly 550$. 2500 to spend I personally would suggest a Nitrous kit and a good tune. Use the left over money for some nice drag radials.

save up for the blower IMO like oxford said

Subframes, lowering springs, lower control arms, poly-urethane bushings, gears, shifter, full exhaust. Thats what i would do if i had a bone-stock mustang.

Very first mod should be gears (at least 4.10's). No doubt about it.
