What is a good first Mod for a 4.6?

BlownNOSMustang · May 12, 2006

I was thinking,,Cold air intake. Who makes a decent one? Whats the cost. Will the car need a tune?

squares98 · May 12, 2006

midpipe, gears, tuner, exhaust. Not a cai, that is somthing to do at the end of bolt on's imo

smueller · May 12, 2006

CAI...don't waste your money. GEARS, GEARS, GEARS!

sgarlic · May 12, 2006

Ditto. CAI not worth it as a first mod, tune not required.

Gears first or if you can't quite afford it, short throw shifter. If Auto, stall & trans cooler.

04gtdrop · May 12, 2006

is your car an auto or stick???

i would say that your best bet dollar for dollar will be gears!!!!!!!! if you do gears you will need to have a way to re-cal your computer i.e. a tuner can do that. So if you do not want to do gears, you could.....Do a mid pipe or cat back, short throw shifter...

I guess you could do a CAI. But its not really worth the $$$.

How much $$$ is in your budget? And what are your plans for your car? Any track or race time, or are you just looking to make your daily driver faster?

Hope this helps....

im confused.. am i the only one wondering why he's asking about a first mod when he has a blown stang already?

nevermind he has a 50:x

04gtdrop · May 12, 2006

lol, yeah i was wondering that after i put up my other post...

blownnosmustang, cow town? you must be in sac!

loosescrew79 · May 12, 2006

Yeah I noticed his sig from the start. He has all kinds of stuff listed there. Its blown with NOS. Maybe that his wish list

mogs01gt · May 12, 2006

driver mod

jasonh_86 · May 12, 2006

Gears or a blower!

DocG · May 12, 2006

Yeah, I'm with the rest, avoid the CAI until much later if ever. I'd vote for the shifter if its a stick (same price as a CAI about...175)....or gears, a little more costly. Midpipe will give you some power and an offroad one can be had for less than 300. Cat-backs don't offer much power but make the car sound 10x faster. I know this sounds stupid, but my car feels faster with the exhaust mods more cuz of the sound than any HP gain.

Oh...and is this a joke thread? And how come you got all that stuff in your sig...detailed list of everything...and then you got "extra large injectors"? WTF?

bakos24 · May 12, 2006

I would say you need a good 15th mod according to your sig . But if I would pick defiantly gears.

mity2 · May 12, 2006

Well, CAI is one of those gimmic that you can live without until you have some money to waste.

By looking at your sig, looks like what you can use is a nice catback exhaust.

gtstangau · May 12, 2006

full exahust, shifter or gears.

DocG · May 12, 2006

This whole thread really confuses me. If those mods are for a second car....how come you'd have enough sense to do all those mods on that car...and think a CAI is a good first mod for a 4.6?

Me too, can't wait until the original poster responds.

Oh, what the hell, here goes... Just throw a replacement K&N filter on it (and remove the silencer) and call it good. Assuming it's a manual, then a shifter. Then properly welded-on subframe connectors. Then a SCT Xcal2. Now you're set up for the next round, the really good stuff like gears and exhaust.

If this guy has THAT many mods, how could you NOT know that CAI's are worthless? lol...this thread is a joke.

ocbaud · May 12, 2006

well if he's only been working on 5.0's he is probably asking what a good first mod is for a 4.6, since he's never worked on one???

atleast thats what i assume.

ok my pic: shifter, exhaust, gears

in that order
