I just got my 2012 mustang gt stick. I was thinking about tinting my windows but I don't like that darkness when you look out the window at night. I heard people talking about some Ford racing mod that adds torque and you need premium gas? I'm not sure what it is or how its done but I would go for that. I like the way the exhaust and cold air intake sounds already so I'm going to leave that alone. What kind of mods would you recommend I get?

seriously dude...if your asking for tune mods, you need a cai and a performance tune. My suggestion is that you do nothing, and read the **** out of this forum back a few months. That's the only way to increase your knowledge from being clueless.

Drive it for a few months, and see where you want to spend your money. I addressed my suspension first, as I like twisty roads at full throttle. You may find that you are more into cosmetic changes, or you may want more raw power. Rushing into mods can leave you with a mountain of reciepts for stuff you don't want.

The "push back in your seat" feeling that you're seeking can be found in the CAI, tune and gears.

Take your time and enjoy the car. There are some mods I considered. I would have more horse power but for my driving I don't really need it. I also would have to use premium gas and I already have unhappy with what I pay for the regular stuff.
Proceed slowly unless you just have a lot of money you want to get rid of.

Click to expand...

can you tell me how the CAI and tune works? If I want it, do I ask my dealer to do it for me? I don't want to void the warranty and I don't know any good shops in my area. I trust the dealer. I don't mind paying for premium gas. How much hp and torque would it add and i guess my mpg will drop right. When you say tune you mean when they adjust the ECU to put out more power at the expense of gas? thanks in advance for the help.

Warranty IS an issue. Ford offers such items with a warranty IF they install it.
