Hello everybody! My name is Aaron, I'm 18, and I've been reading stangnet for a couple of months now, but I didn't have a mustang. However, yesterday that all changed I bought a 1998 Mustang GT, dark green in color. The bad news is it's an automatic , but it only has 70 thousand miles on it. The interior and exterior is mint, and the guy before it put a k&n cone filter (sucking in hot air from the engine bay, classy) and flowmasters on it. I'm pretty damn excited because I've wanted a 'stang for so long, and I can finally say I've got one! The cars I've had before this are a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis, which is a really comfortable ride, and a 1989 Jeep Cherokee 5 speed, in which I have a built 4.0 that my dad and I put together, but I thought would be faster.
The downside is that I know it has the garbage non-pi equipment (head, intake, etc), but I think it's plenty fast for me right now. When spring comes I want to get some 3.73's and call it a day, not messing with boltons and saving up for a paxton or something similar. Just a couple questions: for the 3.73's, can I just get a speedcal to fix the speedometer, or am I going to need to get a tuner too? Also, with 3.73's, what rpm am I going to be cruising in OD at 60 or 65 mph? Thanks in advance, I'm proud to finally be part of this community!
P.S. Pics are coming, but it's 9 degrees out. I just can't get out there right now.
