bout my car
this is Heath again from the Charlotte area, have a 2006 4.6 mustang, it is back, black convertible, red interior, the stock chrome mustang rims on it. its automatic, sister had it and didnt want it anymore, traded her. never been too big of a mustang fan truthfully, but its growing on me.
i have so far put a steed cold air intake, diablo sport tuner thats been re-flashed for the steeda intake and hard trans shift with 93 octane gas, steeda crank and water pump puleys, eibach lowering springs, sub frame connectors.
and now trying to find a set of headers, x-pipe, and mufflers. new or used, and also ring a pinion gears, preferably 4.10 and new. would also be interested in any throttle body, bigger injectors, tires, wheels, aftermarket fiberglass hood, and any other performance parts or interior or exterior pieces.
would also even be possibly interested in a good nitrous system, bout a 100 shot, wet shot system of course, or procharger or turbo if the price is right.
also up for any suggestions or criticism on anything about my 2006 mustang GT 4.6L V-8. im new to the mustang and whole module motor era, used toy around with a 1969 396 chevy el camino and chevelle (push rod motors of course and carbs). new to the injection system and turbos, always knew my way around stripped blowers, anywhere from small b%m supercharger (on a SB chevy) up to a 14-71 mooneyham blower (blown alcohol injected big block/ all aluminum) . truthfully never even messed with a ford motor before but liking it so far except on a diesel truck but liking it so far.

Read up on these S197's before going any farther. Lot's of things that worked on the older motors don't always apply to these 4.6L's. The stock TB and exhaust flow quite well. Changing either on a stock or non-modifed engine won't gain anything. Only headers, preferably LT's, will do something exhaust wise. An aftermarket TB has it's place on a FI engine or one modded internally that can use the air. AND STAY THE F*CK AWAY FROM TB SPACERS! LOL!
And welcome, too.
