I have a 93 mustang. Ive put cold air, 70 mm throttle body and egr spacer, 73 cc mass air, flows and an h-pipe. I also put in 3:73's and a tci racing automatin transmission. What should be my next step under 500$ to give me more hp. (No nos)I was thinking a chip but what kind? any other ideas?

underdrives, chip is overpriced and may do nothing for you, especially with an auto

A shit kit will not make any car go faster, but the trans will wear out faster because the clutches and gear train will be hit with way too much pressure from the shit kit install.

It won't make the car go faster MPH wise. However, the quicker the car shifts the faster it will get through the quarter mile. The time it will take an auto without one to shift eats up a lot of time in the 1/4. I never said it would make the tranny last longer and never said it would make the car faster. Quick shifts are important to drop times in the quarter. If you want to rip on my posts use information I stated not that you copy and pasted form another web site. Thanks [patriot]
