Best starter mods AFTER supercharging
i see a lot of posts about what type of forced induction to use or if you go n/a which mods to go for. But what are the best bang for the buck mods to go for after forced induction? I have an '02 4.6l 2v Procharged GT. Everything else is pretty much stock, however I do have a pretty good dual exhaust system that I am happy with. What are your opinions on the next best steps for increasing the horses. Keep in mind, this is a daily driver and I'm not really looking into getting to the point where im having to forge the internals. I was thinking about aluminum driveshaft, 75 mm throttle body, headers, tune?

@ SoldierGT, no subframe connectors.
@sesso, I know with naturally aspirated engines, more cfm, better exhaust and headers are always a great starting point. But with forced induction, do headers and a aftermarket throttle body even make much of a difference? Also, I guess in any instance an aluminum driveshaft should help but they can get pretty expensive, so I dunno if it's worth it? Additionally, I have no experience with tuner programs(worked mostly with old school cars) so I dunno if thats something I could really benefit from at this point.

What #s are you putting down? Are you looking for the max HP or a fast mustang? No matter how much HP you have if you have no suspension mods you'll be spinning tires like crazy.

OP is in the wrong year forum but I guess the question can apply to all years.
Anyway, I upgraded my rear suspension first, then exhaust and then got the Whipple. Next, I went with a 1pc driveshaft.
