Hey guys! I have a totally stock 2018 Mustang Ecoboost Premium (aside from hood struts). I was wondering what mods I should get as a beginner, as well as ones to help increase the longevity and efficiency of the car. I live in southwest Florida. (I think a photo of my car is included in this post)
I already had some mods in mind: cvfab race intercooler, drop-in air filter, pro tune by PD Tuning with Accessport, Steeda "Stop the Hop" starter kit, Steeda NHRA legal driveshaft safety loop, and snell rated helmet (for drag racing since it is required at the 1/4 mile), NGK 6510 Iridium spark plugs, replacements for the Fuel injector pressure sensor and Fuel vapor hose, and a UPR catch can with a billet pro series check valve and drain line kit. I would have a local shop called AutoMafiaRacing install these parts and use their dyno with PDTuning to tune my car.
As for my reasoning, I figured the intercooler and tune would be good because my car would be able to drag race more without heat soak. I know that I sometimes get wheel hop when drag racing at any RPM, so I figured I should get the steeda to stop the hop kit so I don't break my car. Also, since I haven't replaced my spark plugs since I got it at 12,333 miles I figured it'd be a good thing to do. I've heard that sometimes catastrophic engine failure or "Ecoboom" might happen if I don't replace the fuel injector pressure sensor and vapor hose. I also figured the catch can would be good since most people recommend it for one of the first mods along with an intercooler and tune.
Also, I still have my stock 235/50R/18 Goodyear F1 asymmetric all-seasons and 18x8 rims. I also do NOT have the performance pack. I have the premium 301A pack with the digital dash.
I go to a local 1/8 mile drag strip called Immokalee Regional Raceway on most Fridays, and during the summer I usually go to Bradenton Motorsports Park (1/4 mile).
Are there any other mod recommendations that you guys have or anything on this list I should replace? It's my daily driver now, and I don't want to break it. Also, I know my Ford CPO 7yr/100k mile warranty might be voided by doing this but I really want to make the car safer and better to drive.
