Hey, so I am a newbie and was wondering if someone can help me out. I have a '01 GT, but unfortueately it's auto. But I freakin' love it. It's 100% completely STOCK. I want to make upgrades slowly every year I come back to the States. I am living in South America. Roads here suck, otherwise I would bring it. But let's get down to business. I want my stang to be absolutely kick-ass...we're talking fast, and strong. Can someone write me a massive email with what I should change/upgrade to make this thing as fast as it can be, while still being street legal? I've read up things to do (bolt ons), but the completed result will take a few years as I am out of the country. Tell me ALL (gears 3.90 for an auto?, headers, exhaust, superchargers, chips, etc...all in order of what I should do first...to last) Thanks....

Best question to ask you is, "what are your specific goals?"
Do you want a drag racer, street monster, or corner carver?

Here is a great place to start:

You have an auto: Get 4.10s as your gears.
Upgrade your exhaust. Get a higher-flowing midpipe first, then catback, then headers (cost-wise, the best order to purchase).
Supercharge it (Kenne Bell, Novi 2000, Vortech are some of my favorite options).
Upgrade your suspension with SFC's, LCA's, an STB, and a decent shock setup. Check out partshopper.com & maximummotorsports.com for these pieces.

Many more people will chime in, so sit back and listen.

4.10 gears for an auto, kenne bell 1.7L if you dont want to change out internals, if you dont mind then buy a short block from MPH, and put a kenne bell 2.2L, Long tubes, off road x/h pipe depending on the sound you want, cat back, custom superchips dyno tune, plenum, tb, 31 spline axles, eaton differential, short shifter, drag radials, subframe connectors, lowering springs, shocks/struts, k member, mcleod clutch, adjustable clutch quadrant, theres more im sure, but my brain is shot...time to study.

All the above plus some 13" brakes to slow it down.

you will need to get a forged internal setup for a KB blower if you want over 400hp, i think that 4.10's might be too steep for a twin screw blower and you would just revv out to fast in first, i would go with 3.73's instead...oh and another thing they forgot to mention is weld your torque boxes and axle tubes.


Since it's a automatic the J-mod will be nice along with a hand held tuner, high stall convertor, and the gears oh and a tranny cooler
