To be brutally honest, my car gets driven maybe 1k miles a year. Not a lot of time anymore.
I have done some basic stuff like frame stiffening [Stifflers], exhaust, MGW, Watts link and cold air intake.
I have Koni shocks/struts that still need to go in.
I am looking for something else. No tune on vehicle...factory tune.
My issue is the skip shift is driving me nuts.
Since most of you have nodded your rides much further than I would ever consider doing, do you have anything you would definitely do again as a mod if your vehicle was stock?

I'm like that too, I don't drive my 2013 very often, it spends most of its life sitting in my building. I bought it already modified, only mods I've done are the tune. I want to do e85, have you thought about that?
My favorite mod I had done to a car was I had 4.30's put on a 2001 Cobra I had back in the day. That really woke that car up!
Do you have a nice head unit or the one with the little area for time, temp, radio station, etc. I'm thinking about upgrading my stereo to a touch screen nav type system with Apple Car Play.

I honestly am just so undecided.
I have given thought about a tune...but I am not convinced.
I have given thought about an aluminum driveshaft or buying a new clutch for black friday sales.
I need to do the opg mod..
I am trying to eventually put twin turbos or a supercharger on it...just cant get excited about spending $8k for what I want to put on it.
I have ginven thought to this...[ PX6 Six-core ] 12.1" Vertical Screen Android 9 Fast boot Navigation Radio for Ford Mustang 2010 - 2014
I just dont know

That's a cool stereo! I might take a look at that one for my car.
I thought about a SC but putting that kind of money into something I don't drive often I decided not to go that route.
I like my Lund tune, but my car had an idle issue shortly after I bought it. The tune cleaned it up and the car does feel somewhat snappier, although that could be just in my head since I read people say that about tunes.

What is the opg mod?

Those tesla style units need a sim card slot. I'd hate having a HU dependent of my cellphone as I drive where there is no signal often. Why I keep SiriusXM.
OPG = Oil pump gears, definitely worth the peace of mind if you ever bounce it off the limiter, stock ones like to shatter. Do the billet cam sprocket when you are in there too.

Which billet cam sprocket keeps the VVT?

Btw...where I live, there arent many many places you dont get a signal...so it would work very well....

I have the MMR piece, they are all about the same, one solid piece it's the one on the crank that drives the cams. You have to remove it to get to the OPG's anyway, so it's the best time to upgrade. 2011-14 MMR 5.0 Mustang Coyote Billet crankshaft gear / sprocket [467891] - $139.99 : Modular Motorsports, Home of the worlds fastest Fords

Well, I didnt find anything mustang wise that was actually a good sale price.
So I purchased another suppressor. No way in hell I am paying $800 for an aluminum driveshaft or a tuner with a tune. The suppressor will get much more use...
