I can make the car nicer looking and a little faster, or I can go ***** to the wall performance. What you guys think I should do???

Im not sure what route I want to go.

 

performance all the way! you don't want to rice out what looks to be an 01 cobra. what are your current mods?

 

CAI, magnaflow cat back, off road mac h-pipe ( catless ), and a tune.

You think the lights are ricey?? Only reason I want new ones is because my current lights are leaking water and have chips in the paint on the inside.

 

if your lights are bad then ok. the lights are not as bad as some. so I would go ahead and get those if yours are bad. Deff, do the rear end. I would do the lights (if needed) and the rear end. make sure to get the new speedo gear to adjust for the rear end. ford racing has them pretty cheap. I would go with a full steeda short throw shifter with diff. knob. the pistol grib is not my fav.

 

If you go to 3.73 or 4.10 gears, they will wake that car up big time.......trust a former 5.0L owner on that one.

 

gears

 

Gears seem to be the concensous. Theyre cheaper too. I will do the gears . Thanks for the input guys

Are they hard to install?? Should I bring it to a shop, or try to do it myself?? And what type of gains + loss in gas milage am I looking at here. $4.30 for premium isnt exactly fun...

Right now I sit at 70mph @ 2k rpms on the highway. What should I expect to sit at with the 3.73???

 

If you have to ask.....

 

thanks a lot.... .

I think ill just clean up my stock ones and paint the insides black.

 

gears. **** the bottle. n2o is a quick way to **** up an engine.
gears will wake that **** UP! not sure what the stock rear end ratio is, but if its anything like the old 5.0 gears it will be an awesome gain. 2.73s made the 50 a dog. 60mph in 5th gear was at 1200 rpm

 

u mean 3.73's?? 1200 rpms in 5th at 60 isnt bad at all. Im @ 2k rpms doing 70mph...

O I get ya, 50's had stock gear ratio of 2.73^^^. Yea thats kinda crappy.

 

yeah it had stock 2.73s. 5th gear was useless below 70mph. i wanted to upgrade it to 3.73s or even 3.5x? but it wasnt my car it got traded in for a dodge dakota even after it was painted, lowered, cobra style wheels, BBK intake, MAC headers back catless exhaust.
damn that car sounded badass...
