Default What mods can you do?

I have a 2019 Mustang GT with cat back exhaust, CAI, computer flash. Can you do the same thing for a C7? Should you? If so what all did you do? Doing these mods to the Mustang got 500hp at the flywheel. It came stock with 465hp.

thanks
Wade

How do you know it has 500 at the flywheel? Did you pull the engine and put it on a Dyno? Or just going off what the parts manufacturers claim?

You can do any mods you want if you don't care about having warranty. Just like you will find if you blow the engine in your 'Stang.

You can do any number of mods to a C7 to make it perform better - just depends on your goals and budget. And as mentioned, another thing is whether or not the car is under any kind of warranty and whether or not that matters to you.

Btw, as suggested... don't believe the marketing hype for the great power gained for simple aftermarket add-ons.
