If you had $1k and a stock mustang, what would you do?

[mrnoodley]

I'd do Koni dampers, the springs of your choice, and a set of Steeda or MM camber plates.

I personally just say nitrous lol

Ricers love to say NOS ... that aint helping me! Probably put me into a tree on the tracks I go on .. but kewl to say!!!

[white99gt]

Lol if you wanted to be real cool, you'd say NOZ like in Fast and Furious hah

What is the goal?

If drag strip:
Gears and drag radials
Traction and gears, best bang for the buck you can get in the 1320.

If road course/autox:
Springs+shocks
Dropping the CG a bit and controlling bump adds a ton of confidence to the performance driving experience.

If general driving:
CAI+Tune+exhaust
Add a little power, get a little better gas mileage, and make it sound better rolling down the road.

The what, where, and how much of spending money to improve a car has everything to do with how you intend to use it.

everyone mentioned performance stuff but if your looking for looks then i would do chin spoiler, HID's, window louvers, shorty antenna, some interior or engine dress up kits and a NJstangers decal lol

You cant go wrong with that. That is the greatest thing about a Mustang ... so flexible. I love chin spoilers but I went with a Roush nose instead. I would bet my car that if the entire NJ Stangers showed up at the same place, no two cars would be the same!!!

Probably CAI + tune + gears...

could not say that better... might change upper and lower control arms over drag radials though. depends on the gear we are talking...

[NJSPEEDER]

How to choose a rear gear for the drag strip.
1. Test pass to find out your trap speed
2. Know your tire height
3. Know what rpm you peak HP is
4. find a good online gear calculator
5. Using the information from steps 1-3, add 2-3 mph to your trap speed, now use the calculator to figure out a gear ratio that give trap speed+2-3 mph at an rpm just above the known rpm of your peak hp.

The result will be a gear set that lets you use the entire power band through every gear you use at the track
