Agreed, gears will put the biggest "feel" as a mod in the begining. Exhaust is always a cheap mod, an off-road pipe will not only improve that "mustang sound" but free up a few pony's at the same time. Good luck.

I disagree with gears being the best bang for the buck on a stick car but on an auto gears should be your first mod.

IMO, If you race more than street drive, get 4.10's; if you drive on the street more than race, get 3.73's.

If you've never installed gears before, then have them done proffesionally. it's worth it when you don't hear a whine in the gears and know that you have to pull everything off and try again. I would invest in a good diff cover while you( or your shop) has it off. Good luck.

I agree somewhat, If i had a 150 shot and a stroker, i would probaly still be running my old 3.27's or 3.08's.
But im not.
