Steeda rear sway was my first mod. Worth every penny of $120.

If you are gonna get a supercharger then an aftermarket TB would be worth it

Stang unfortunately the fact of the matter is that if you really want to improve the power and performance of your 4.0 you're going to need more than a tune / CAI and some suspension mods. Nothing against those mods mind you, I have some of them myself. But to make real power improvements you need to look at things like stage 3 heads, superchargers or turbochargers and of course the 8.8 rear end with a t-lok in it.

PS the BBK throttle body isn't doing a thing for you on a stock motor.

I am in the exact same situation as you, and here is my plan.

CAI w/tune
Dual Exhaust
3.73 gears in a takeoff 8.8 rear end
Shorty headers
Wider tires, front and rear.


That was just speaking for speed. I plan on sprinkling a nice even mix of handling mods in there along with some exterior mods like GTCS front/rear bumpers, rear and 1/4 window louvers, and perhaps some stripes.

Now, those mods are all definates. I may add some other items onto that list as they pop up, because I would like my car to run under 13 in the 1/4, but none of those mods will be taken off.
