RE: which mod first?
1.Subframe connectors
2.heads (AFR,TFS)
3.exhaust
4.Intake
5.Underdrive pulley
6.gear (3.55 or 3.73 at the absolute most)
7.Tune
I said exhaust before intake because Fords flow REALLY poorly on the exhaust side, intake isnt as much of an issue.

RE: which mod first?
First and foremost you should stiffen the chassis, even on a bone stock stang you can tweak the frame. Before I got mine I cracked my dash going around a corner [:@]. I recommended heads before the other stuff because your gears cam exhaust should be based around the most bang for the buck power, which on a 5.0 is the heads. Cuz I guarantee if youre pumpin 400hp to the back tires, you probably wouldnt want as steep of a gear. Also, your intake and exhaust might have to be different as well, like you might need some huge primary tube headers, which you wouldnt need with stock or even GT-40 heads. And while youve got the motor torn down that far you might as well slap a cam in er. Then youd need headers also.
Ideally you would have a plan of action and have all of your parts picked before you order the 1st one. That way theyre tuned to each other rather than having a bunch of mix match parts that might not be the ideal setup.
DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR THE BEST MOD/UPGRADE TO A 302 IS CYLINDER HEADS. PERIOD.
