What would be your first mods on a completely stock foxbody 5.0?(has flows) I got a 1988 gt, manuel, that just hit 64,000 miles. My last and first car was a little 4 banger that was hit by a drunk lady while it was parked. So i got cashed out and got the fifty. Interior is imaculant. Runs great.

you won't notice a seat of the pants difference from any of those mods, other than maybe your headlights going dim and your blinker going 3x as slow when the lights are on at night!

You have to lay down your first stipes first. Show us your stipes, take a pic of it and post it. Then we'll tell you what your first mods should be.
