Default Another new to the site...

Hi, new here and thought I'd post a quick introduction... I live out by Jackson, but commute in to Troy most days for work.

I drive a stock 05 mustang gt but I'm planning some light mods such as intake, exhaust and computer tune.

With my commute, I end up putting around 1k miles / week on it, so my goal is to do what I can performance wise, without giving up reliability or longevity... Not sure yet how that's gonna work out, but if anyone has hints or tips for mods that are "safe", I'm all ears.

I already got a daily driver, kinda, sort of.. it's a 97 chevy K1500 with a V6.. but so far I haven't been able to leave the stang alone and drive that tired old thing to work instead.. I guess when the snow gets too deep I'll have to use it whether I like it or not...

Thanks for the pointers to mods and to that place in the area to check out btw, much appreciated!

Welcome,

A computer reprogram is critical on the 05's, and if its a stick, youll want a new shifter early on. Since youre out in jackson, check with Pauls Hiperformance, theyve got a good head start on 05 mods. Id say headers/exhaust, shifter, and a tune to start. Maybe a cold air intake too, depending on budget, but definitely plan on doing it all at once so you dont have to have the computer retuned twice.

I'm also curious how it compares to other cars... haven't really had an opportunity to find out yet... unless you count that one dude in a newer Volvo station wagon on 696 one early morning last week...
