First mods for 12’ GT500
- Thread starter synergydetail
- Start date
I would start by asking the previous owner if he would sell you all the mods he took off the car when he returned it to stock.
No advice will be given until pics are shared!
Oh - and congrats!!!

I would drive it for a while and enjoy it.. These cars are fantastic stock, wait until you get bored.. then start modding!
For 11/12 I would say the MGW shifter is mandatory.
Skip factory blower pulleys and all that nonsense.
Straight to TVS and supporting mods.

Couldn't agree more. Go straight to the TVS....don't bother modding the stock blower. After that - MGW shifter, adj LCAs, UCA, adj panhard bar, heat exchanger.
Agreed here. Only thing I would add at the top of the list are some better tires right out of the gate.

Tires are by far the best upgrade if you're still on the stock Goodyears. And even tho most say go straight to a blower upgrade, I still think it is worthwhile to do a "cold air/pulley/tune" to the stock supercharger. It is an economical upgrade that brings a significant step up in power.
My car was stock and I did all my mods at once. It's hard to find a stopping point because if you mod one thing, there are 2 or 3 other supporting mods that you need.
For example; add more power, than you need a clutch. Since your doing a clutch, that's a good time to do the shifter etc etc
Here is how I did it a few months ago. And I did EVERYTHING in the 20 days
