Who says no one puts a turbo on the 4.0? I know of two right now that I can think of off the top of my head (TurboJ and Brumby over at the Collective) running in the 11's.
There are others as well but can't think of the names right now. And Rygen used to have a turbo 4.0

Mainly because its more expensive, harder to install, and better chance of popping your motor IMO if your tune is off. Turbos on these motors make killer torque and power.

I would love to do this to my car, but I've decided to wait a while and then just upgrade to a 2013 or 2014 GT. I just can't get myself to spend over $5K for FI and rear-end upgrades. I can let that money build interest for a while a then drop it on my new purchase. I was always planning to upgrade eventually so investing the money in my current 4.0 is a losing proposition, and I've already spent close to $4K on other goodies. I should also mention I have a daughter in college which is my main focus with regard to $cash$ right now. :-)
I'm sure most of you plan on keeping your cars for a while and the FI makes sense in that case. Until then I'll be jealous of you all. You are all truely Mustang enthusiasts and I don't quite fit into that category - at least not yet.

I'm with disco dave and red fire , cant bring myself to get rid of my mustang. for me It's because I think 2005-2009 is the best looking mustang made. and someday( because it will be paid for soon) v-8 conversion will be made , at which point I'll throw my Vortech on that !
