Nice! Welcome to the club!

What specs do you have already?

Depending on what your Stang has now and what your goals are, you may not need anything huge.

PP auto with drag wheels and radials alone could be legit. Add a CAI and tune, simple and effective; you could go with a FPPP# option.

Good luck!

For N/A upgrades, the big three, will get you the most bang for the buck. They are CAI, tune, and exhaust. Down the road you can add long tube headers, they will get you about another 20 whp, but can cost up to 2G's depending on what brand you buy. And there are cams too, but they run about 1600 just for the cams and then you need the install kit and the labor if you don't have the skills to tackle them your self. If your thinking cams, wait a few years, no one has cams for the new 2018 coyote engine yet except ford and you already have the only set available.

Thanks I was looking at radials for the car and I wanted to know if a 295/55/15 would fit or if it’s to tall.

The rear brakes are 13" so you need to run at least a 17" in the back.

I run 28" tall tires on mine with BMR drag springs that are a bit lower than the PP springs with no problems. In fact they tuck real nice.
