Default Re: New to Mustang Scene

I don't know what is done to the car, but if it is stone stock, AND you don't have emissions in your area, i would install an Off-Road H-pipe, a good cat back exhaust (MAC, flowmaster, ect). You didn't mention whether you were running an auto or or 5-speed. If it's a 5-speed, Installing a set of 3.55 gears in the rear will make a world of difference, probably the biggest bang for your buck. If it's a 5-speed, I highly reccomend an aftermarket shifter such as Hurst or Pro 5.0, so you don't hurt the trans if you get rough with it. I would also remove the air intake silencer in the passenger fender area, make sure it has a good tune up and bump the ign timing to 14 degrees BTDC. You will feel a world of a difference if you perform the simple mods listed above. Let me know how you make out, good luck and welcome to the mustang world. I used to be a big GM fan, until I purchased my first 5.0 back in 1995, an 86 LX. I've been hooked ever since. Take care.
