STEEDA
For $1,000, Steeda can make your ride a solid performer that's capable of high-12-second elapsed times with an aggressive driver. A PI head swap is recommended as the next upgrade for '96-'98 Mustangs, while '99-'04 cars can get right to the performance bolt-ons. For $5,000, Steeda goes right for the jugular with a Vortech supercharger and a MagnaFlow exhaust system.
