What's next?
 
Just installed a cold air intake on my '03 sixxer. What should be next in my upgrade line?

What else has been done to it? Personally I would do something with the exhuast. Mabye some shorty headers and true duals?

Trade for a gt? Just kidding. Personally I'd do side exit exhaust or dumps. Nothing looks uglier then a v6 bumper with exhaust tips hanging under it (or get gt bumper). Or new rims and do some suspension mods (shocks struts, lowering springs, CC plates, subframe connectors).

So far, the intake is the only thing. I'm trying to avoid exhaust for now, something a little more simple.

Air Freshener? What do you mean by simple?

Bolt on kinda things. Something that I shouldn't have to take in to a professional to do.

If you want something for performance, I'd get a handheld tuner from American Muscle.

+1 and how good are you with tools?

MosesTheMustang 8/13/12 09:51 PM

I'm good with basic tools, but I'm no mechanic! Haha.

Dbranham 8/13/12 10:13 PM

I'd like to see some photos of your car if you don't mind. Also i say handheld from American muscle with free tunes for life.

MosesTheMustang 8/16/12 04:20 PM

I'll put some up soon. What gains in horsepower and 0-60 will I get?

Literally like .1-.3 seconds off your 0-60....
And hp like 10.

MosesTheMustang,

Try out a Bama SF3/X3 hand held tuner! Your sixxer will gain better throttle response, hp and tq just from a Bama tune. On top of that you'll be enrolled into our Free Tunes for Life program, which allows you to get updated tunes for free any time you add more upgrades!

If you have any questions just let me know!

That made me laugh haha

What about 3.73 or 4.10 gears and a limited slip differential? I know, those are professional installations, but what would that do for me?

Getportfolio 8/18/12 06:48 PM

A tune and gears will wake your car up. Gear instal is pricey. 500-600. Just saying.

This is your best option. I'd go with with a posi, 4.10's and a tune. Best bang for your buck!

Do the sixxers come with the ford 8 inch rear end? If not I'd say that

No they came with 7.5

bluethunderhorse 8/18/12 07:27 PM

Best bang for the buck and surprise a few GTs would be a 100hp shot of nitrous
