Congrats on the purchase, most guys go with either gears or exhaust for the first mods. Pulleys are also a good purchase. ~Brian

I'd check everything first, before I spent money on mods.

Brakes, brake lines, filters, fluids, tie rods, rack, shocks, sway bar, alignment, and any other things they may hamper safety.

We don't need anymore hurt Mustangers.

Sounds like a cool car, congrats!

Cool

i agree, make sure the car is in top shape, then go with more gear. if you have the aod, use a 3.73 gear and if you have the T5 use a 3.55 gear. then exhaust. i wouldnt use underdrive pulleys ona street car unless the cooling system and the charging system were upgraded to prevent problems.
