Just A Thought, Which would I Get Better Gains With?
I was looking at getting a one piece aluminum driveshaft, and although I will get one eventually, my question is if I should wait to get some other mods first that would give me better gains at the same price. So the other mods would be BBK ceramic short tuned headers, BBK after cat x pipe, and 4.10 gears. Before I have people go off why I m bothering ith shorties, its because I dont like the sound of LTs and this is my DD. what do I have currently? 2012 Gt Auto, with gt500 ABs, C&L cai and tune.

Actually 3.31's are the optimum gear for the autos. But the stock 3.15's work very well. You should be able to roast your tires the first three gears already with a good tune and the 3.15's.

Well at this point I m happy with the exterior for now. The very next thing I want are staggered 18" with some nitto nt555s for better traction because right now my launches are just burning tires. After that I would like a deeper growl from my gt500 ABs, a x pipe and/or resonator deletes should do it. Finally, a little more power.
Suggestions?

I was thinking of getting Nitto NT555s, would Street Radials make much more of a difference? Also whats the difference between the off road x pipe and a after cat x pipe? I was thinking of getting a BBK after cat x pipe, do you all recommend a different choice?

Off road eliminates the cats. Are you going to drag race your car? If so, the drag radials would be a good choice. If not, then a good sticky street tire would be optimal.

I bought a big stall converter for my '07 Mustang GT for $460 and paid $250 for my local Ford Dealer to install it. Converter was brand new. So, total cost was $710 and the car was instantly entertaining to drive and my ET's at the drag strip improved by 3 tenths without tuning! ET's drop even more with tuning; 5-7 tenths.
