Default Ok guys new to the 4.6 scene need advice on go fast parts!!

Ok i have a 01 GT with 58000 miles on it. As far as upgrades it has a cold air intake, 4.10 gears, diablo tuner, flowmaster catback. The car is a 5 speed what else can I do as far as bolt on's. I am not trying to be the faster guy around just be a little quicker. Any advice would be great thanks.

Im thinking
75mm throttle body
75mm penlum
underdrive pulleys
catted x pipe

anything else you guys know would be great

Skip to the midpipe and I'd do an aluminum ds, maybe a brake upgrade, 03/04 cobra brake kit would be a nice touch!

yup, o/r x or h-pipe for sure!-- ( about $200) & you can do your own install. Then I'd say Steeda udp ($200) and rent or buy a pully puller & tq wrench to install those from autozone yourself. You will feel a major gain if you do it at the same time I think! Also a set of two sticky tires like they said above. I think the nt05rs' go fro like 180 a pop w/ free shipping form american muscle for the 17''. Not bad and they gripp!!!! That's another $360 plus what ever it cost to mount and balance. Idk how much you want to spend so I'll stop there...

The guys at your work are stupid. You can run enough boost to max your block if you want.

Plenty of folks running boost on stock blocks, just need a tune with boosted setups
