Steps To my next mods...

Mustanggt108 · Jan 31, 2006

After all the bolt-ons in my sig. These are my Next steps:

Step 1 : Mongoose kit(NOVI2000) + Wideband O2 with Gauge.

Step 2 : Rims + 275 Nitto DR's.

Step 3 : Stalker rear Bumper.(Maybe)...
So what do you guys think?am i on the right track!?

NOTE: Suspension work comes a bit later.

I would say yeah you are on the right track. I would look at getting long tubes at some point to open up your exhaust a little more but they are not necessary. I would also think about getting a forged rotating assembly so that you can take a little more advantage of that novi. If you aren't planning on ever getting forged internals you really don't need that big of a blower in my opinion.

Edit: I would also ditch the weld in flows and get a catback.

Mustanggt108 · Jan 31, 2006

Long tubes ...No. I will ditch the weld-ins for sure and get a catback , when the time is right.The Novi2000 is a great blower . I might even go with the vortech mongoose kit

If you don't forge the internals the vortech can get you to the 400 rwhp (and then some) mark that everyone says the rods and pistons are good to.

DocG · Jan 31, 2006

Wow...quadruple post! Sounds like a good plan...but with the Vortech I'm assuming you're doing a dyno tune. Might be a good time to just get the LT's thrown on too if you had the cash, and just get it dyno tuned once. Also, why are you going with the Wideband O2...you going to tune it yourself...or just to be able to monitor it?

Do the suspension mods before the Stalker bumper!

That is going to be one awesome Mustang, already is actually with the mods you already have. I am not sure about longtubes. They are extremely cool but so expensive plus you would need new midpipe... I think that cams would cost the same as longtubes and I would do some blower cams. You should try to do both really but it will add significant cost. What is your budget?

When you do suspension are you just going to do a MM box or are you going to get fancy?

Also, I would just forget about the wideband O2, your tuner will have one and that is when it will really matter anyway. If you have a good tuner you will have confidence in your air to fuel ratio. Not getting wideband O2 will save you $350

If you are going to change rear bumper cover, best to do Cobra or V-6 for the sleeper look

nope.No dyno tune.I'm gonna use Tim's tune that comes with the mongoose kit.Thats why i need the wideband , so i can monitor my A/F ratio and make sure everything is going well.

thx for the compliments killy.Well i'm making good money , so i dont really have a tight budget.But i am planing on getting the 07 GT500 this summer .So i dont wanna spend everything i have on this one.As you know , i wont be able to get a dyno tune around here , so i will have to do with the tune Tim sends with the kit, and then monitor it like i mentioned above.i dont think i need blower cams , since i will be around 380-400rwhp after the mongoose , and that is my goal for the 04 GT.

loool , but i wasnt born rich ...come to think of , i'm not rich at all even now lol
i just make good money coz i work hard and have a good job.

DocG · Feb 1, 2006

If you're getting a GT500 soon....how come you want to spend that much money on the GT....is the GT going to become your winter car!? No attack meant here, just curious.

BooWFO · Feb 1, 2006

Is the 04 gonna be the track superstar?
But the list looks ok to me. Although I'd really move the suspension up higher than the bodykit stuff, but that's me.

reddrgn01gt · Feb 1, 2006

If you are getting a gt500 save your money and mod it. Look at how well the 03-04 cobras respond to simple mods. I am sure the gt500 has enormous potential with the blown 5.4 4v. Imagine the power coming from a free flowing exhaust and a KB sc swap on one of those .

its cool.Actually i only drive my GT on my off days, which means 3 days a week.I use a small import for when i go to work lol
the reason i wanna spend so much on this one is because i love it so much.And i wont spend anymore , just $3700 for the mongoose , and then suspension upgrade and then i'm done.

LOL , well when i first bought it i was thinking of slamming on the HP twin turbo set up.But we dont have a track here. So i think 380-400rwhp is enough for street use.
no body kit stuff , just the rear bumper , and it will come at the end , after everything else is done
