first mods?

[mustangkid05]

hey everyone i got an 01 gt with a racing chip and flowmasters and thats about it........any ideas of other mods that i can get cheap for under 200$.............im thinking of either an intake or a k&n filter.......what numbers would i be getting with them?


thanks

Get the k&n (under $200) thats the best improvment.
Now for $200 +..................... unlimited

Hum, with a k&n you will be looking at about maybe 5hp. With an intake elbow, I think this is what you are talking about, if so I say 10hp. I have put a k&n on my svo with success, I would say probably, 15hp. With the 5.0 I put a full CAI on it and felt nothing. I would go for some headers or underdrive pullies, these are more noticeable power adders, more than the cai and k&n, the pullies will really help if you have an auto, if you have a 5spd, then get a shifter, it makes it alot more fun to drive.

No I don't have one currently but I had one a while back. They are not worth the money. Save the money and get something worth while. Just my opinion.

Uh, 15 hp with a K&N? Even a full CAI will hardly do anything on a stock motor. Please don't be fooled by that.

The best bang for your buck would be gears, but ruling that out due to installation, second in line would be MGW shifter - without a doubt. No amount of minimal horsepower gained from anything under $200 can even touch a MGW shifter in performance gains.

sell the chip and get a used nos kit.

GEARS!!!

Like I previously stated!!! way better than k&n or CAI!

 

[AmBo]

OMG GEARS GEARS GEARS!!!! I just got mine and wow I wish I did it 2 years ago!

Gears or shifter. Dont bother with K&N yet. A CAI / filter will be the LAST mod i do to my stang, not the other way around...

 

[mogs01gt]

get that ****ty chip out of the car.

First mod:
Driving skills

 

[Ruckus46Gt]

gears def the best bang for the buck

 

[hotmustang331]

Well for $200 I would get a $150 JLT RAI. www.jlttruecoldair.com should be it. Best CAI out there IMHO.

K&N has been dyno tested on a bullitt and made 1RWHP and 3RWTQ. JLT has been proven to gain 1MPH in the 1/4 and give 8RWHP.

EDIT Put that other $50 towards a nice shifter, or better yet GEARS. But afetr instal gears will run about $500...shifter can be easily installed yourself and costs about $200.

No I don't have one currently but I had one a while back. They are not worth the money. Save the money and get something worth while. Just my opinion.

The k&n is reusable, just clean and reoil, so you wont ever have to buy
another paper filter.

im not to farmiliar with gears.........they make it shift faster im assuming?.......and what else do they do?
