After reading several posts about how people were getting the GT rebates applied towards their Bullitts I called my dealer and asked why this wasn't the case for me. He claimed that the Bullitt wasn't eligible for GT rebates, so we went back and forth for a couple of minutes until he decides to look it up in the computer...sure enough I have a $1500 check coming to me!!!!!!
Now I have $1500 burning a hole in my pocket. It's money that was supposed to go towards the car so that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm looking to spend it on bolt-on aftermarket goodies that will give me the most bang for my buck. This is what I'm thinking:
1.<format> 3.73 FMS gears</format>(3.27's are way to tall. I'm not concerned about being able to do 140mph, just want to get to 60 A.F.A.P)
2. <format>Bassani X-pipe w/cats</format> (seems like a solid building block. The stock cats seem to be fairly restrictive.)
3. <fomrat>JBA Headers</format> ( Have you seen the manifold logs that Ford puts on these things. I bet this is probably the biggest restriction in the exhaust)
4. <format>Steeda Tri-Ax shifter</format>( the faster you can shift the faster you get to the finish line. The stock shifter is starting to feel a little noodley)
5. <format> 80 mm C&L MAF</format>(Seems logical to free up the breathing if you free up the exhaust)
6. Not a power adder but, <format>Global West Full Length Subframe connectors</format> (I had thes on my old GT conv. and they made the hugest difference! The bolt-on ones that come stock don't cut the mustard)
I know this list comes to more than I have, but it does give an idea of where I am going. I think if I spend wisely I can get half way there or better.
Anyone have any other ideas or can think of something I overlooked?
My goal for now is to get to 300hp and improve the suspension just slightly without destroying the cars uniqueness. Most of what I'm considering can be unbolted in the future if need be.
