What should I do?
 
Ok, help me out here guys. All my past Stangs been boosted. I've had this car a year now and the current power level of fun has kinda subsided.

So what would you suggest I do? Boss intake isn't an option because my plan down the road is a Roush blower.

I thought about maybe longtubes, but I already have the Lethal H pipe.


I suppose I could hit the track up more often and dial in my driving since that is OBVIOUSLY needed. lol.

I tinted all the lights on the car only to be told last night at the meet they were going to "melt my taillights" over time. Arrrggggh! :emotions122:


For those that don't know my current mods:
- lethal h
- sportline springs
- rivet wheels
- mgw shifter
- gt500 AB

What do you think?

What happened to paxton?

I am big on suspension now that I did the autox and would do a lot more of that if I was you. The autox is a blast and the stock power is more than enough power. If your wanting more power for drag then I would do LTs, intake and retune. Or just save it up for the roush

I think you should do all bolts on for now, that way the car will be ready for the blower and forged internals down the road. :D

Go e85 so when you go blower your already on e85. Or just go get the vette. If could afford one is trade mine in.

I'm a fan of boost, obviously, but you don't necessarily need it to have fun with the car at the track. With lt's, off road x and muffler deletes, along with the JLT cai and a Gearheads tune, I made 435 at the wheels, and eventually got the car down 11.60's at 120 in that trim. It was fun to drive and made a great daily.

After the boost, the fun factor went through the roof, but the daily drive factor went through the floor. It's just easier to take the '05 now if I'm going to work, or pretty much anywhere for that matter.

If it's not going to be a daily, then boost it and have some fun. If it is, them maximize the n/a combo and still have some fun!

Start hanging out with guys that drive slow cars. :chewie:

What happened to selling it and getting a C6?

How about throwing on some nitrous for shits and giggles?

What gears you have in the car? But probably get all the suspension stuff setup on your car before anything.

I honestly would probably still take a LS2 Vette over a new 5.0. Or should I not say that on a mustang board. LOL

I have a 2013 that is all stock except for a procharger with 9psi that will put that vette back in the sand box :-p
