Noobie From Halifax
Hello, everyone. I own a 2002 Mustang GT, shes pretty much stock except an AEM Brute Force Intake and a Jegs 2.5" Catback exhaust. I've had the car for just over a year and I just love it. Shes in the body shop now because my sisters shed fell on it while I was storing it for the winter. My buddy has a Stage 2 SRT4 and hes too damn cocky and I want to kick him down a notch, what mods can I do that wont break the bank but still beat him, no nitrous please. I got some ideas but I want to know if Im on the right track. Im thinking and handheld tuner(and brands to stay away from?) 3:73 gears. Headers and Xpipe. And probably TB and plenum. Oh and I may change out my mufflers from the turbo style to a more straight though design. Oh and he is on the stock 205 tires. and I have the stock 245s. I just want to shut him up on how "fast" his SRT is, or how he calls it the "Silver Bullet" lol. Thanks all
If getting 3.73's go ford racing and have them professionally installed.
TB get a BBK. Headers and X pipe BBK makes a nice cheap set.
Your gonna want H/C/I and maybe even a power adder possibly a turbo or a blower.

You are need to need an aweful lot of $$$ in bolt on parts to do the job imo as stated above.
You store the car winters so it is not a daily driver then. Why not go with 4.10 gears instead of 3.73?
The million dollar question though is can he drive?..........and can you?
Anything can be beat stock for stock depending on the driver.
Just by focusing more on suspension and launches might be all it will take.

I know I can out drive him. And I can launch the Stang pretty good. 4:10s would be nice but I dont want to rev too high on the highway, and since Im taking in the Florida come the Summer, I dont want TERRIBLE fuel economy lol. His car isnt that fast, at least to me it doesnt. I know its faster then my Stang. Thanks for the Welcomes, and will post pics of my baby once shes out of the paint booth
