Low weight, a big engine bay, rear wheel drive and shared components across several lines make the Mustang an excellent platform for building serious performance. With so many options, it's easy to get carried away with engine builds and custom suspension setups, but that doesn't mean all modifications require weeks of work. These three upgrades are simple enough to tackle over the weekend and can provide major improvements to your car's performance.Install a Better IntakeA Cold Air Intake repla …

Between the exhaust ports to the bumper, there are a lot of parts that make up your Mustang's exhaust. To get the best performance, each piece has to be taken into consideration.When Bigger Isn't BetterWhen someone mentions exhaust modifications, the first word that comes to mind is usually "backpressure." However, the word that should come to mind is "velocity." Simply put, higher velocity means more power. If the exhaust is too open, there won't be enough force to push the exhaust gases out of …

Before you jump into modifying your Mustang's suspension, you need to understand what all those parts do, and how they apply to your vehicle. Getting better handling takes more than just bolting in some stiffer shocks.

However, ground clearance can be an issue for a daily driver, especially if the car has a body kit. Shortening the length of the front …

Thinking about replacing your Mustang's intake manifold? Here's what you need to know from what this modification can do to what it takes to get it done.How Does an Intake Manifold Affect Performance? Some manifolds work really well with high RPM builds, while others offer more power at midrange engine speeds. Most of this difference comes down to the runners going between the throttle body and the intake ports. In general, small, long runners will maintain air velocity at low speeds for more lo …

How do you figure out which fuel pump will suit your car's needs? With math!OK, you don't actually need to do the math since there are plenty of calculators available, and we've done our own testing to give you ballpark figures on the capacities for the pumps we sell. However, understanding how these figures are reached will help you better understand the results.When buying a pump, remember that bigger is better: a fuel pump that is a little over capacity for your application will give you some …
