I want opinions!!!

I just graduated from high school and got roughly 1000 bucks in grad money. Naturally my first thought was buy more mods but what all can I do is was thinking along the the lines of a Airraid race CAI with Bama tuner from AM and a dual 62mm throttle body and I could pry get 60-70hp out of it with a 91 octane tune. Do you guys think that's a good plan?

That's a nice plan, but you won't get 60hp from those mods. You could look into new gears if gas mileage isn't a big issue.

I'm planing on getting a short throw and 3.73 gear kit soon needs help with acceleration

Yeah, it's funny how that's always our first thought when we get a few extra bucks!

I would recommend going with the CAI, TB, Tune and a Set of gears. This will make a huge difference, in a few different departments! Power, torque, acceleration, drive ability, gas mileage, throttle response and so much more...

Please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance in the near future! Congratulations on your Graduation as well!

60-70HP?...No. Go with a 93 octane tune and gears, and ditch the other two mods.

Thank you Dan and wouldn't putting gears on lower my fuel mileage I still have to drive like 20 miles each way to work I have tossed around the idea of 3.73s with the CAI and tune and TB as soon as possible but I still need decent fuel economy for the time being

3.73's will cause you to shift more, but it won't hurt your Gas Mileage if the car's driven properly. If you drive the car like you stole it, of course you won't get great gas mileage!

I have 3.73's and full bolt on's in my 2011 GT and I get about 19MPG without a problem!

I went ahead and ordered the Airraid race CAI and Bama SCT tuner combo for now. I'm definitely looking at a short throw and 3.73 or 4.10 gears

This sounds pretty odd. If it was placed on the weekend, you may not have received the shipping email but you would receive a confirmation email. Give my CS team a call and they'll get you all up to date and all emails sent out!

Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.

After a little help from the Bama team at AM and a couple updated tunes later the car is running amazing and the extra power is noticeable and the throttle response is awesome now
