Time to start modding.
One more car payment and it's time to start upgrading! What are some best bang for your buck mods? I've always wanted a supercharger but I don't know much about them. Which ones will give the best HP/performance upgrade? What other kind of little things can I do to upgrade the HP. All I've got so far is an AEM BruteForce intake, and a cat back Borla exhaust system. What next? Headers? Chip?
Also interested in a new hood and body kit. What are some good ones or where can I look?
Any good online stores to browse/buy these different items?

get a tune...
as far as superchargers go, the Saleen SuperShaker is supposedly really beastly
for Forced Induction: Roush, Saleen, Whipple, Kenne Bell, Procharger, etc.... any known brand is good

IMO kenne bell, whipple, and saleen are the blowers out there. get a tuner. you can find lots of body kits out there.

First off, the time to begin modding has past. It was on the drive home from the dealership when you bought the Stang.
Other than going FI, The best bang-for-the-buck is the CAI & tune combo. The CAI alone may net you about 3-5 RWHP. The tune will add about 15-20 to that. Other than the CAI & tune, eveerything else is small change HP-wise... 3 HP here, 5 HP there... Note that the axlebacks and catbacks won't do squat for performance since the stock exhaust is so free flowing. You may want to look at LT headers if you don't mind losing the cats, UDP's, Delete Plates, aftermarket driveshaft...
Once you begin laying down more power you'll need to consider suspension and rubber upgrades to make it usable.

oh, and we forgot the most important thing.......
if you're married or you have a permanent girlfriend... then you need to open the middle console, reach in, and disable the pu**y magnet.... it could get you in trouble if you don't...

Works on guys too. The 'Stang is a d**k magnet. ;-) I have been stopped in parking lots, at stop lights and by a state trooper (all men)....all to talk about me and my 'Stang.
