'01 mustang gt mods

[NameBlast44]

Just got a 2001 mustang gt 5 speed. It came with a k&n and a flowmaster 40 series( ) I'm new to muscle cars so bear with me please

My goal is to get my car to run with 03/04 Cobras (highest of 12s) without a power adder or nitrous. I have a bit of cash and want to do some mods and just would like to know if I'm heading in the right direction.

The mods I am going to do so far are:
Underdrive Pullies
Electric Fan
MGW Shifter
4.10 Gears
Diablosport Predator tuner
Timing Adjuster
Long Tube Headers

I'm thinking I will see a nice big power gain with all of these mods. My next mod, when I have the cash, will be tires

Critiques are welcomed, thanks!

First mods I would get would be 4.10's and a nice aftermarket shifter..

then I'd get full exhaust...you'll still be running high 13's or so with these mods so you're going to have to get some cams and some ported heads. also try to get a ported bullitt intake...then get a good tune.. you should be able to do it there as with the heads and cams, you should need at least 50-60rwhp with a good tune.

Look into a new clutch also to grab with the 4.10's.

It's going to be a job, but with some motor work, you should be able to pull it off.

Good luck with everything.

First off you cant use the electric fan as our cars have that allready.

you just need full exhaust Long tube headers h/x pipe with no cats then a set of gears like you said for n/a 4.10's at least 4.30s if you really wanna hual then a set of pulleys a tba nd plenum with a tune on good times will go 12's i have seen it done in a vert.

Thanks man, so are my other mods useless or should I still go ahead and do them?

Long Tubes and the 4:10s are a good start. Take the money from the rest and mods and get some cams. Then get a TB and Plenum to help get the air in. With some stickies and launch the piss out of that thing and drive it like you stole that thing. Also a short throw shifter and maybe keep the Underdrives on the list to get also just to get some more power. Good Luck with your modding.

So with long tubes, 4.10s, cams, a new shifter, tb and plenum, tires, undrives, and my current mods, as well as great driving, I should hit 12s?

you dont need the cams or the shifter to hit 12's. but yes sticky tires and the things i said will go 12's.

cams, 4.10's, tri-ax, exhaust, some suspension stuff, tb and plemun, cluth and flywheel, superchip and a few other things and i go 12's

Wow, I was doing some calculating and the price of all of this stuff, not including if I got it professionally installed, would be around $1600, not including the tires! wow, the price you pay for a little performance

My first mods will be a new shifter, then gears, long tubes, and then cams. I will wait on the other stuff

long tubes .. xpipe .. flows.. and 373 thats all!

 

[white99gt]

Leave the car stock and just get a KB 1.7 kit.

It will make more power than all the other mods combined you listed.

And will be more fun to drive.
