Hello Tom,

OK I'll give this a shot if you could share some further information on what you have.
I might have missed the year of your Mustang ? 2010
What engine ? 4.6 L 3V
Transmission ? 5 Spd manual w factory clutch
Optional packages as in like, Trak-Pack, rear end gearing etc. ? 18 inch American racing torque thrust II's, 3.73 rear end, no track pak or line lock. 5 Spd manual transmission with factory clutch.

Lastly, what is it specifically you are wanting to do with your Mustang ? I'm looking to overall for speed and handling. Ultimately something similar to a slalom car that has speed but can still corner really good.

Here ya go Terry. He answered within your quoted post.

Based on this info I would do a tune and suspension. I would skip the CAI personally, for now. Suspension for cornering, I would do at least, shocks/struts and lowering springs of your choice. Springs are all relatively the same, minus the drop height.

For drag, I would do upper and lower control arms with brackets.

if you have a job and get back 5K your doing it wrong
I have to disagree. Having extra money each month is nice....but if it's small enough then, for someone like me, I'd waste it. I'm not good at managing my money. But a nice chunky refund let's me actually do something with it. Like pay off a credit card or pay down my car or something.

Which doesn't change the fact that it represents a bad investment.

Eh. I find its easier to make it fit my personality than to change my personality. It works for me so why do you guys GAF?

IDGAF, if it works for you, good. It's poor money management.

I agree with stkjock. It took me a long time to learn money management but its the difference between owning a Mustang GT and a Ford Fiesta....

I would love to know how to not get $5K back.

Make sure your W-4 is accurate.

Big tax refunds are just silly. Yet another way Uncle Sam tricks uneducated people into thinking they're winning. Getting back their own money that they loaned to the government for a year, with no interest paid. Yeah, sounds legit.

Well no shit John. My W-4 is always accurate but yet I still get a refund.

Where would be a smart place to put some tax free money? My company has downsized and is no longer offering 401k.

They closed the plan?

IRA would be next choice


OP - tune and gears for your refund.

Looks like the general consensus is tune and gears. Why get a tune without any mods though?
