yeah this question is probably asked a hundred times but i dont really feel like looking threw thousands of threads on this website...im 16, i know a decent amount about cars for being as young as i am, but anyways. i have my 2000 5spd mustang with dual flowmasters, and an ebay intake.. but i want more, but have no clue what to do...i have seriously spent hundreds of hours looking online to purchase something for my car but just dont know what to get.. i was thinking of buying some 4-2-1 long headers, tri-ax short throw shifter, underdrive pulley kit, and 9mm spark plug wires with like NGK plugs but was wondering how much hp i would get with all that? and any other tricks or tips i can do to my car without spending a lot of money on my car?or other things u would suggest to buy for my car??

Tri-Ax is the ****nit! I love mine!

T-Lock and gears! Great starter

Underdrive pulleys, only if you can find a good price on them used. DO NOT BUY PIGGY BACK STYLE!!

Spark plug wires if you can find them cheap but if not, dont worry. If you havent checked your spark plugs since buying the car, you might want too.

Headers, dont worry about them until you hit 300, but I doubt you will, but thats ok.

Also, you should lower your car, becaue stock Mustangs are 4X4. I would go with like some c-springs and tokico shocks and struts.

GT rear sway bars and pretty cheap and a good handling mod.

I bought cobra brakes, and i love them! But, i doubt safety is on the top of your list.

Also if you car is a 2000, there is a good chance your headlights are foggy, so either buy some new smoked ones or you can wetsand your current ones.

GF foglights look good and help finish up the front of the car!


Do you have a job?
