New Owner - Looking for Mod Advice

[StangPapi]

Hey guys, I'm new here. I was wondering if I could get some help? I don't quite know how to start a thread or post something really. I would love to contribute to this topic but I don't have much experience with my car yet. But please if someone could tell me how to start a thread that would be awesome! I need to ask about the best hp mods per buck Thanks and good luck with your car!

Thanks! Man I’d love to afford a supercharger because I can’t get to far with N/A, but I’m still in high school so I don’t quite have the budget I’d like to have

I’ll give it a look though

Gears, cold air intake, and a tune if you don't have money to go FI.

well you asked best bang for the HP buck and it's been proven on the site time and time again to be the best solution.

Many would say save your money and wait, I'll say if you're in HS, def wait.


as for less costly alternatives, as Sactown commented /\ 4.10s, tune and cold air intake.

Also if it's a 5 speed, a shifter isn't a bad investment either, though I'm never really a fan of any factory shifter anyway.

Tune and an axle back will make for a fun car that turns some heads.

Quite a few affordable basic bolt on mods for the S197, unfortunately they start to get expensive quick. A tune and tuner will set you back $400. Most other stuff I'd recommend finding used if you can, saves a lot of money. Ebay is a good source. I got my shifter for $150 and I've bought multiple brand name axle backs in the $100-150 range.

Welcome to the forum. @VistaBlue09GT posted the perfect post about what to do just below your first post. Once you get a few posts in, it will be easier to figure out how to add more stuff to the forum, like pics of your car.

This is solid advice, I’ve bought a few things new but a lot used, a tuner, intake and an axle-back would wake the car up and make it sound infinitely better. Shifter if it’s a standard is a nice mod also.
