First Mods for the GT500

[TimKonaGT500]

I couldn't even go two weeks before ordering parts! LOL Took advantage of the Lethal Performance Columbus Day sale and got a couple of parts. Nothing major, but I am going down the slippery slope!

- MRT Carbon Fiber hood struts (prop rod had to go)
- Airaid blue air filter (factory one was looking shabby)
- JLT carbon fiber intake tube (a bit of eye candy)

I did manage to have a little restraint and did not order an exhaust system or the CDC convertible styling bar! LOL

I had most of my first mods before I even got the car. It's a sickness that hasn't got any better 6 months in.:-D

 

[NightRide]

That's how it starts, might as well get a tune a wake the car up a little bit as well.

I'm 3 years in and it's just as bad as the first few weeks, I look at parts daily.

 

[fordmustanggen5]

agreed, pulley and intake should be next. easy quick hp. a set of DR's wouldn't be a bad upgrade either!

Those were pretty much my first mods as well. Next came the Eibach Pro Lowering Kit from Lethal...:beer:

Pulley, cold air intake WITH a tune is next step.
Do NOT forget the tune!

 

[Phantomhalo]

You may need a tune with that cold air intake you got already....Might want to double check or hold off installing it until you get the pulley too...

 

[BLK93GT]

MGW shifter should be 1st mod IMHO.

It's just the resonator delete pipe basically. He is gtg.

 

[04-OW-COBRA]

I vote you skip the pulley and tune and go straight for the tvs swap if funds allow.

^ This is what I did.
I pullied and tuned my 04 Cobra only to swap in a whipple less than 3 months later.

The way I did my car was
-Lowering springs, LCA's, hood struts
-TVS, intake, tune
-UCA, Relo brackets, DSS 1pc

Next will H/E and brakes

 

[Venom07]

Get a 2013 tvs first I picked one up for the same price as a pulley, cai, tune combo.

 

[TimKonaGT500]

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I bought an 89LX convertible in 1997 that over the years touched every bolt at some point modifying, improving and changing, so I know how the game starts.

My wife is on "high alert" for car parts showing up after plunking down the cash on this one, so for now they have to be subtle. :nonono:

After moving from a 300+ ish HP Fox to a 550 HP GT500 I will take some time to enjoy the extra power before having to boost it up. :thumbsup:

Next on my list though:
- Shifter
- Styling bar
- Exhaust (stock is fairly raspy, but will want more)

Those may wait until spring. For now I will be spending the winter Zaino-ing the car to get that Kona blue to really pop. :rockon:

Having the SVT performance package, I am very hesitant to change the suspension much. Might look at some minor tweaks, but I don't want to throw off the awesome balance that is there between handling/ride.

Jared, my only complaint was you guys shipped TOO fast!! Tried to deliver while I was still out of town, so I got the 20 questions about car parts being delivered!! :rolling:

Service was awesome, and I am sure I will be back for more! :rockon:

 

[99cobraUgotbit]

Ha! I bought my Longtubes, mid pipe, and mufflers before I made my first payment!

Anyways, congrats on the new mods!
