[weberflorida]

Are there any stickies that go through staged upgrades for the gt? I am a newb and am looking for a guide if there is one.

Thanks

It's been there since the forum began. The search button is the go to sticky that never lets you down.

Yeah that was very helpful...

We don't have stickies for that it's obvious. And what do you mean staged guides? Like a stage 1 stage 2 stage 3? There is no such thing. Let's say you have a question on what exhaust you wanted. There is a sticky for what each exhaust system sounds like. And with different combinations. If you have a cold air intake question there are at least 10,000 threads already and if you have a question about anything specific just ask. People on here are super nice and will help you. Hell ask me anything about our cars. There isn't much I wouldn't be able to answe for you

Mike,

Thanks. I have been around cars for like 25 years and never worked on a mustang ever. I agree the intake, exhaust, tune and thing of the sort are common place. I was looking for more after that ie when should I be looking to change injectors, bigger fuel pumps things like. Pretty excited about the getting the car. I am on deployment and have ordered it. Will be getting it in July when I make it home from Africa. Trying to narrow down which intake to buy now. Also looking to go headers back and use the tuner shop in Baltimore near where I live. Drive it for a bit and then start looking at the higher HP upgrades.

But to answer your question I was looking for something simple like stage 1, 2, 3 etc.

I will hit you up if I can't find the answers I am looking for past the few mods I am looking at.

Thanks,

Bill

FWIW, I wouldn't be putting that much info out over a public forum about a deployment. Your coworkers wouldn't be very happy if they delayed your homecoming for leaking that info over the internet. First time I deployed to Africa someone did that shit and I was irate.

honestly...the best thing to do is just read the forum...especially the threads in the v8 section. just go through the section page by page and learn. there is no quick jump to all those v8 mods list that has consolidated all the v8 mods into one database. no one has done it yet and this forum just keeps getting bigger.

Welcome to the forum. Everyone wants you to search but I do agree there are certain resources that simply do not exist. Gotta put in the effort to research and create one unfortunately.

It's definitely tough to get the lay of the land on the forum here without just sort of feeling the hive mind of everyone. There aren't a lot of sticky's or wiki-like pages to explain various options like you might find in other communities.

That being said it is on us to make those pages! I'd definitely like to contribute at some point. I was pretty active in the Jeep and VW forums and i'm still getting familiar with the Ford world.

There is some great info here which I often use as reinforcement of ideas because some mod happy goof (like me) has probably tried it. If you're truly looking to create a project car the best place to start would be an active vendor or a company with a history of projects such as Beefcake, Lethal, Brenspeed, Evolution, Livernois, etc. Call them and start a relationship and let them help you create a stepped procedure. There is not going to be much they haven't seen, experienced, or heard. Combine knowledge with the fact that they want to sell parts and installs which keep the customer happy and they can take you where you want to go.

Ford over built these cars as far as the motor. You won't need bigger injectors for a while. Just run a BAP if you ever get to the level of needing more fuel as far as the pumps go.

Long tube headers/exhaust and a tune are where it's at for these cars.
