Best $1000 mod?

I got 1k lying around and I'm itching. What's everyone's suggestion on the mod for my 11' 5.0?

Already got Ford Racing 1.5", Whiteline front Swaybar, Airraid/Bama 91 tune, Roush Axle-back, AMR 18" 285s w/Eagle F1's.

Leaning towards UPR Off Road x SS?

Not to worried about getting a MGW or Barton right now. Car shifts great.

Some track time for driver modification. By far the best in my opinion

For fun + value, can't beat it. Use half for track time and the other half save for new brake pads you might need afterwards!

A good combination mod, for great power (if that is the route you want to go) is:

Boss intake, Boss CAI and install kit.

This package but with no tuner

Are you wanting to add power or do you want to start looking at handling?

Best Regards,

TJ

Don't need to go crazy on power mods, just yet. Save up for a blower. That will be your ultimate satisfaction.

But if you must spend 1k, I suggest an MGW Shifter for sure. Then follow it up by selling your Roush AB's, and getting a full catback, either with Corsa or Borla (if their quality has improved) or Solo Performance. Also don't forget about Koni's for suspension.

If you can find one, the Boss quad exhaust (with the side pipes) will make you smile every time you start her up or downshift to a stop!

Convert it to 1000 dollar bills and hit the dollar store and make it rain


Or give it to the United Negro College Fund because a mind is a terrible thing to waste

Track time and some driver instruction. Both pay much bigger dividends.

I put on the Gt 500 AB and the track key. For less than 1K it is a monstrous difference. My car sounds so Good No one will race me. LOL
