What's next? Suggestions

[hmdballa219]

Hey guys just looking for suggestions. Haven't seen any update of new parts really to buy for the mustang. I'm stuck because I wasn't to eventually go SC, but that's not even close to in the works yet. With that being said, I don't want to buy any irrelevant parts that won't lead to my next upgrade of force induction. What should I do next? Are headers the only real next option then? Appreciate everyone's feedback. And recommendations.

Biggest hp gain for the $ is E85 tune. I personally am not going to waste money on exhaust nor air intake parts. Good luck.

I already have k and N drop in. Heard the mishi pipe doesn't fit on the 18s

Yes that's literally what I was thinking next. E 85, tune. Heard good thinks about it for the 18s. Local tuning company will do e 85 tune and Dyno for 400$ just gotta find time to get over there. Also wondering if I should wait to do the headers? Or do that as like a winter project if I do it. Does it matter to get tuned before or not?

And just to verify we need to do nothing at all to the 18s to run e 85 correct. Besides tune obviously .stock injectors, etc?

.3 and 3mph from e85 tune and jlt .. , .1 from headers and 2mph..zero gain so far from drag radial,but it is very consistent now and zero hop..have some bmr stuff sitting here,but i'm debating if I need to install it at this level i'd like to see some more people get the converter and test before I go there..maybe you can try it no nothing needed but tune for e85 na

I don't mind the suspension, but what do u suggest? (For performance related)

 

[hmdballa219]

Oh ok, well I talked to somebody that sells them and they said no, doesn't fit on 18s. The air box is bigger on these, has to be modified.
Thanks tho.

Wow that's it? A little disappointed that's all it was from the e 85, is it a noticably different in the seat of the pants Dyno tho?!
And what's this about the converter? Torque converter?

Depends on your goals.
I would address the wheel hop issue first.

Thats it? Shaving .3 off and gaining 3mph on a fucking n/a car is huge.

A 3mph gain at the current mustangs weight and power is an almost 45hp gain from tune only.

.3 tenths is a pretty good gain, imho i was disappointed in the gain I got from dropping cats and headers for all the trouble it was. steeda said they put a stall converter on their 10 speed car..was the first and last I have heard of it

Hmm ok, so deff gonna go threw with the e 85 tune then for sure. Maybe I'll wait for the headers, or do I have to have that done for e 85, tune? Because I heard it's a pain in the ass to do the headers. And I have to do cats, because I have emissions where I live. So extra 200 dollars for catted.
