I have an 03 Mach 1 and saved up around $400 for some upgrades, what should I get?

(I currently have: K&N Intake, Bama Tune, Full Borla 'Stingers' exhaust, Chipped)

 

Gears

 

Short throw shifter and gears

 

Perhaps springs or the other options mentioned above. Really need to set what application(s) you desire. I haven't touch my motor or gears but have sured up handling and weight reduction. Ran a best of 12.9 with a 1.79 60ft and handles much better on the twisties.

 

BAM!
Except installation is expensive...
Gears are the BEST thing I have ever done to my car. 4.10 or bust on a stick especially, don't fear the gear!

 

I have to agree with everyone else and go with Gears! I have an 2004 Mach1 myself and Gears/Long Tubes we're the two best mods I did so far. Don't fear the gear!

Let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance!

Unless you can do them yourself, you won't be able to get gears for 400 bucks. I say get you a set of tokico blues. If you can get the springs then do it also, but if you can't, get some shocks and then save for the springs.

 

The stock suspension in the mach was pretty good imo. the stock tokicos where basically HPs and are pretty good, you can improve on them but it's up to you and not a cheap mod. 3.55s where stock gearing so keep this in mind for gear selection ( 4.10s would fit the bill ) and I really like the long tubes, great mod.
