Default Intake/tune or mgw shifter

Trying to decided what my next mod should be and I'm kinda hung up between an mgw shifter or an air raid cai and tune(probably truestreet). Trying to spread my mods out a bit time wise so I was wondering what you guys would do

Well the price difference between those two is certainly large but probally Intake/tune. Shifter is def a gd idea.

you should pick up around 20-30 hp from a good tune. cold air intake is not needed on coyotes unless you go forced induction. I would focus your money on an off road mid pipe and a tune. that should put you well over 400 rwhp.

This! Tune/ offroad mid is the best bang for the buck.

See that's why I ask these things cuz I'm a super newb to the coyote motors.... So a lethal orh and a tune... Hmmmm maybe I should pick up some mufflers cuz I think the muffler delete will be a bit loud

I am a firm believer in building the foundation before the house.

I would work on the driveline before adding more power. Get the most out of what you have and when you start adding power, you will be that much further ahead.

I concur with WBT's statement. That MGW shifter is one of the best investments I've made.

GT500 mufflers ftw. Also the shifter is nice but i did well with the Oem shifter so i guess its on personal opinion.

I have roush suspension under the car and it handles great so the only other thing I need foundation wise is wider tires I think...as for gt500 mufflers those as exactly what I was thinking

I haven't heard the gt500s with an orh except YouTube vids but everyone says it doesn't do justice to the setup so I need to find somebody to let me listen to there setup

When you start pushing the car hard and experience problems shifting into 3rd, you will want an aftermarket shifter with the support bracket.

Yea the stock shifter leaves quite a bit to be desired but it is one of the best stock shifters I have seen on a car in this price range
