Have $200 to spend....What to do?
We have $200 to spend on my g/f's Stang and we were thinking of getting gears. We are open to other ideas though, that's why I am posting this.....WHat else can we do? Also if we were to get gears, 3.55's, 3.73's, or 4.10's. We are kind of leaning towards the 3.55's cuz we plan to supercharge in the future and the car is on the highway quite a bit........

Hey if your looking to do gears theres this place in westfield that does a great job! A little expensive, but he is awesome and really knows his stuff and shold be ale to recomend what the best gear for you car would be! The place is called Wzorek Automotive. If you want more info let me know and I'll dig out my paperwork from there.
Another thing you could do to the car is free up that restrictive exhaust. Convert it to duel and add some performance mufflers. That would help a lot too.

I'd go for the exhaust too. Not only does it add performance, it gives your car some balls too...soundwise Get the gears when you actually decide you have enough to get the blower.

Gears will be more than 200. Alsoo Only put Ford gears in. The other companies will either whine real load or mess up your axle.

If you get gears get the 3:73 they are the best all around ratio good low end and still decent top end for highway. Exhaust would be my first choice though, since it is the cheapest available extra horsepower.
