LOL, no such thing as getting more power for cheap with a Mustang. Decide what you want to use your car for and then open your wallet and enjoy the ride. I put catted LTH, MBRP 3" cat back exhaust and H pipe, 2018 intake manifold, CAI, UPR catch can, Dorman aluminum one piece drive shaft, Auto Mafia Racing performance tune, wheels and tires, Barton Industries stage 3 short throw shifter. I now have about 470 rwhp and if I am on the open road and set the cruse at 65, I still get 25 MPG on 93 pump gas. If I drive it the way I modified it, I get 17 MPG. The price tag for that is about $6,000.00 dollars. I built the car the way I want, and I know I could have gained more power for the same money with turbos. I like it as a NA pump gas ride. Not cheap, but a lot of fun. 2015 Performance package Premium 6 speed manual.

Assuming there is e85 in that area, and e85 tune would do me no good as I cant FIND e85.
I will be looking for E85 around me this weekend. Thanks for all the comments.

I'd like to know how you managed all that for only $6k - well done.

oh. Well I'd consider moving. A life with no E85 isn't much fun at all.
