new 5.0 the time is now

[dynasty_365]

ok folks. i recently ordered my new 2011 5.0 and was wondering what do ya'll think the first mods should b on it. i know eventually i'ma throw a kennebell on there but for right now i'ma keep it simple.

i'm guessing the usual would be

CAI
exhaust
tune
throttle body
headers

what else?

i should have around 12000 dollars to play with in february so i want to get everything in line

First easy mods should be a programmer with an email tune and a CAI intake.

With $12k over and above the cost the GT I think I'd do the ultimate mod.

The Shelby GT500. ;-)

I think I actually am going to do a shelby replica. So cold air intake and a tune and exhaust. Gotta have that exhaust on point. What do u guys feel the best exhaust set up is so far. I've been on YouTube watching exhaust set ups for the last couple of weeks

For mine, Im doing the Stage 1 Power pack. It comes with the SCT Tuner with a preloaded tune, the Steeda CAI, and the Flowmaster Hushpower Axleback Exhaust. It costs 1129 from LMR. It will net you a bit of power and if you do other mods, they offer free tuning adjustments

Don't wast your time and money on a throttlebody till you are F.I.

Agree 100%

Where can I view that LMR package?

Man if I could get a gt500 I sure would. Maybe one day.

Cool so it's best to wait on the throttle body. That's good to know so I won't shell out that money early

how r u liking those flowmasters on your stand. I had flowmasters on my 2004 gt. Seems most people r favorinf the magnaflows on these new models. What about slp or borla or any of the others. And did u keep the H pipe or switch to an x pipe

why would you do that when u could get the real deal?

I also vote for the GT 500. I would not have to think twice about that. I only hope I can live long enough (I will soon be 58) to afford one.

 

[dynasty_365]

Can't afford a 50,000 dollar car. I'm ordering the base model 5.0. I wish I could afford a gt500. Hell I don't even pay my own car insurance. I'm still in my parents plan.
I have kids and a fiancé. I have 12000 to blow but I still have a few other things I wanna do with that money too. That's my income tax money

So you have $12k to spend on mods for your brand new Mustang, but you have to have your parents pay your car insurance?

 

[dynasty_365]

I'll have 12k in February once my income tax comes in and yup they still pay it. Always have. They want to and don't mind and I'm not about to argue with them buy don't get it twisted man I'm a full time plant worker and full time college student with kids. I handle business for myself but I'm an only child and u know how parents are when it comes to kids who r their only child. They will always spoil an only child some kind of way

Good luck on your mods! If you are set on spending the money, probably look at adding a blower to the car at a low boost level with your funds. 5.0's are making very nice power FI.

Otherwise, I'd take that 12k and put it towards your kids college funds.
