i have a 00 gt and a budget and was wondering whatyou guys thought would be some fairly inexpensive mods with kick, besides an intake and h-pipe?
was also debating on a steeda or B&M for a shifter. any preferences?

a shifter will not make the car any faster just more fun to drive. Steeda > B&M and MGW is better than either.

i love my tri-ax, never tried a b&m or mgw tho, gears are a good choice u will notice a big difference while accelerating. alot of people say 3:73 on a 5-speed and 4:10 on an automatic, i went with 4:10 on my 5-speed. you can get some gears for like 170-200 i believe, and another 150-200 for installation unless u do it yourself, aside from that i would go with a set of cams (certain stages depending on your application), upgrade your whole intake and exhaust, and a nice tuner to go along with it |

I loved the tri-axx on my tr 3650 trans, but I don't know how it'd feel on your 2000

I had the triax on my 2000 GT and it was not bad at all...it was a hell of a lot better than the triax was on my t56.
If the 5 speed MGW shifters are anything like the 6 speed...they will make everything else feel like shit. I love my MGW...

The steeda feels just as good as the mgw IMO

Yep. If you like to slam your gears hard don't get a MGW. |

Might you want to back that up with some data?
My MGW shifts smoother, shorter (blue handle), and more precisely that the triax ever could. There is no notchiness that I had with my triax. There is 50% less noise than the triax had. The overall feel is much better than the triax...even over how my 5 speed triax felt.

I don't care, you can not slam your gear with a MGW like you can with a Tri-Ax or Pro 5.0.
And I disagree and MGW is not more presise than a Tri-Ax, it actually feels more vague IMO. |

 You are one of about 5 total people that think the MGW sucks...and the 4 others I know totally ride steeda's nuts on everything...no matter how much they copy other people.
Oh well...keep rolling through your notchy gears...I'll chat when you catch up.

I have a MGW and a Pro 5.0, and I prefer the Pro 5.0. It is a shorter, more precise shift. The MGW is quiteter and smoother though.
A little notchiness isn't a bad thing when you're banging the hell out of a gear. |

i dunno, the mgw on my cobra was a little more notchy than the triax on my gt, i always figured it was just the tranny. i never shifted the cobra fast though, i believe with that much power you shift nice and easy and let the power do its thing, no need to risk missing a gear with 500ft/lbs or whatever going into tranny-shred mode.

Oh and for the record, the CAI on my 02 mustang GT did jack crap, didn't feel anything on the butt dyno and felt nothing at the track

i will also vouch for this. demodded my GT and it felt faster. had a demolet cai, 75mm tb/plenum combo. the only thing that changed was the exhaust tone, got more defined. i might just get a K&N drop-in.

My Tri-Ax is the only produce of Steeda's that I like, Steeda is not my favorite brand. BTW I never said that MGW suck. I'm saying that its not the end all to all shifters. If you like your MGW then good on you, I like them too, their a good shifter, but their not much, if an better than anyone elses.
BTW that notchiness if there for a reason.
