The T-45 came stock in Mustangs that year, this would fit and be fine at 350HP/TQ. The T-56 is in 03-04 Cobras, it's a six speed, and bullet proof. Tremec makes both of these transmissions as well as the TR3650 in the mid 01-04 GTs.
If i wanted to get around 325 to 350HP/TQ should I seek bolt-on mods (e.g. Superchip, K&N MAF, Borla Exhuast, Cold air) for that type of performance or engine work (e.g. cam swaps, Super Charger, Heads)? Also, would this have an impact on if I should go with a T-45 or T-56?
I agree with Matts00GT. Nitrous or a blower would get you to 350 HP and torque without a single problem. With bolt-ons, and other modifications, it's possible to get there, but it is going to cost you a lot more than it would to get a supercharger, or even cheaper yet, nitrous.

I would say go with the T-56 over the T-45 and not have to worry about it in the least if you decide to get more power out of your stang later.
