[WhiteStallionGT]

Most of you already know what car I have. Mods, are listed below. The previous owner said he put springs, but my car still seems so big and heavy. What is an affordable way make my car seem a little less luggish and heavy.

thanx

Seriously tho advance the timing to 14* and run the highest octane available so it doesn't ping. Under drive pulleys are pretty cheap new just under $100 aluminum. oh yea GEARS are cheap but the install is around $300 tho

Gears will pep your car right up. By putting in a lower gear (higher numerically) your engine will be able to move the mass of the Mustang easier. You may actually pick up some milage per gallon too. That is if you can keep your foot out of the throttle.

I'm car illiterate and i have no clue wat you said, lol

Now is a good time to learn. The 5.0L is a good engine to learn to tune. By advancing ignition timing you can gain some noticible horsepower. And, it is a free upgrade. The next cheapest and noticable horsepower increase would be underdrive pulley's. You can do this yourself with a socket set on a weekend. But, like I mentioned before, get the gears. You won't want to do it yourself. But you stated that you wanted something that would rid your car of its sluggish performance and that means gears.

You'll learn a LOT if you just browse this website

Underdrive pullies are nice but there's a trade-off because your engine will run hotter and your alternator will make less power at idle.

They can be had for $135 from gefracing.com but the install is around $300 and he's looking for cheap mods.

2 foot, triple stack, erector style wing. With the downforce generated your handling will improve immensely. Make sure to get 6 stickers of the company that made the wing and place them on your windshield, back glass, each side window and above the front wheel wells.
