ok Aode tranny im thinking that is??? but if i have auto trans go with the 4.10s? then start giving myself better air flow in and out right. Then go inot the supercharging or do i need to upgrade my ratios in my engine in order to make the turbo not destroy my engine and also upgrade the fuel injectors when?? 8psi? 10psi? Anyone that knows alot about the Mustang GT please explain and where could i get these parts for cheap prices? Oh if i do this shit to my car would it void warrenty? But what sucks to is off road pipes have no cats but i have emmisons ever other year will that be affected? I hope not because i really wanna do that...

in my experence there is no difference in power. an x-pipe you get more lowend power and h-pipe you get more highend.

Honestly Hunter from what your sayin in your posts you sound like your new to this. Aode is the type of auto tranny that u have. 4:10 wont let you car breathe easier but itll get u to your peak power quicker. Not to affend you or be rude in anyway But first I would checkout The Modular Forums at www.corral.net and www.stangnet.com Those sites have infinite answers to any questions that u may have. Better to know about your car bfore u mod it. Some mods arent worth a chit and some are better than others. OH BTW yes all the mods mention in the above posts will void your warranty or parts of it for that matter. If u need any help putting on parts or advice just shoot me an email and Ill help you out. Gota help a modular brotha out.

1 fast stang- I think u have it backwards x pipe give more topend and an h give more low end. x is more free flowing.

Ok Hunter heres the deal. You have an AOD-E transmission in your car. Heres what I would do in your case. Ready???

First off start with a good exhuast. These are the worst things in a 96-97 mustang. Id get an H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers.

2nd---Get a 3.73 gear and Precision Industries 3000rpm torque converter and a good shift kit. The converter will help to get your car out the hole better and the shift kit will apply the power to the ground better.

3rd---Get a Vortech supercharger (8psi). Later on down the road you can then install an aftercooler or intercooler for more power. And ofcourse you can always run a lil more boost too.

4th---99 and up GT heads. Theyll make a BIG difference with the supercharger because of there tumble port design and better flow capabilities.

5th---Get yourself some Nitto drag radials. Its the best street/strip tire you can buy.

Hope this helps and you get your car running good. I think youll be happy with this combination. Good luck!!!

One more thing. You can always do the little things too. Like a Mass air throttle body etc.

These will make a good improvement with the blower.

Thanks for the ideas that was really what I was looking for. Ok a shift kit on a auto trans I really don;t understand that now because I can see in a manual but a auto trans hmmm. Right now would be the small mods for now because of my budget. Still paying for this car 360 a month but it will be worth it. Warrenty though is a bitch because mods kills it and my mom will now be to happy but how would the ford peeps know? Unless they pop the hood and see a turbo ya maybe like that but not the gears. Soon the tires are coming and really thinking about getting the nittos drag/street tires. Should i go with a 18in rim or stay with the 17s and get like 17 x 9 or 10s in the back. I think i would go wider in the back for more traction and grip out the hole. Shift kit hmm let me find some and read about them.
