dpflyguy2782 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hi Everyone. I just purchased my first shelby ever. I cannot begin to describe how exciting it is. I am by no means a very weathly person. To own such a car was truly beyond my wildest dreams. Not only is it a truly amazing car but for me its more than that, it is owning a little piece of shelby history. To be a small part of something that is truly an american legend. For me, the shelbys represent everything that is so great about this country. Now that i have gotten that out of the way I have a few questions to ask regarding performance mods: I was curious as to how much the following add ons would be as well as questions on realistic gains in horsepower/torque: New Blower pulley's, new bigger fuel injectors, throttle body, 3.73 gears. Obviously nothing firm just a ball park quote. the car is a 2013. Also, any advice is greatly appreciated in advance! Thanks Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svttim Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Welcome. Gears wont add power. The rest, without a tune, who knows, may loose power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car will never see close to 200 mph with me in there anyways. I just want to take her to the drag strip every now and then. I have read that 3.73's are better for daily driver stuff. Again this is all very new to me so any advice I can get is greatly appreciated in advance. I have also read about getting a little bit of possible gear whine.

Welcome to the TS family, congrats on your very exciting purchase!As you have already read on your posts here,there is a wealth of help and advice from everyone,so you will be totally informed!!!!! I would recommend the 3.73 gears for your kind of driving. I installed Ford Racing 3.73s in my car and no whining has ever occurred with them in the past 5 years,so go for it!
