Hey y'all,

I'm new here and pretty new to the Mustang world. I bought a 2011 GT about 8 months back. The mod list so far is Barton shifter and bracket, BBK LTs, catless x-pipe, Bama tuner, Airaid CAI, and Roush axle backs. I'm trying to figure out where to go from here mod wise. I have around $1000 to spend. I would like more power, but not sure what to go with for the next step to get the most bang for my buck. Or should I do gears or suspension improvements. Any help or input would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Brad

Suspension, no sense in have more power if you can't put it too the ground.

I am about the same point in my modifications: how do you like the L/T? They are probably my next step

I don't really have any mods. 2012 with 3.31 gears, I have Roush AB and the Brembo package... At the risk of looking like a hijacker; would you do gears or a tuner (or something else) if you had to pick one for seat of the pants?

^Not quite there myself either, just picked up my 2010 in February. Have BBK 62MM TB and Steeda Underdrive Pulleys, decided to go some exterior work next so I'm waiting for my rims to come in. To the OP, I'd do gears or suspension, probably suspension since your already putting down some good HP.

Suspension. The stock suspension doesn't grip so well with the stock hp and gearing. Add bolt ons and a gear and you'll be slip sliding away. Tire & Suspension upgrades are always a smart move.

Focus on doing the suspension mods that will get the power to the ground first...
