Atleast gets the stang in some sort of respectable range. So, depending on what your defination of "cheap" and amount of hp your looking for, my definition of cheap hp was just what I've done to date and I'm still on stock tune as well allowing me to stay with using 87 octane gas. If some sort of P/A were involved along with the cost of the PA and any issues brought about by using it (breakage), a tune would be required ~$450 on top of the adder and premium fuel would be in the mix. Not my def of cheap hp.Around here, our local trusted mustang shop charges about $500 with the gear price and speedo gear installed. I had them install my Motive 3:90s - trying to remember think it was about 300? BTW, gears aren't actually hp <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. IMO, if you have 3:27s your not THAT bad off, go with the suspension upgrades first and gears later if you still want.</blockquote>
