Gears
JLT cold air intake
Accufab throttle body & plenum
Catted h or x-pipe
Drag radials
Since you dont plan on S/C it anytime soon, Steeda underdrive pulleys

TB spacer does nothing. if anything, it robs you of 1 or 2 ponies.

yes they do, also them come with a k member brace... but jiust because the vert has these, does not mean the aftermarket is better... those subframeframe connectors are the worst ive seen yet.. when i put the new ones on the car handled so much better and was much much stiffer... the stock ones are bolt on and flimsyand when you take them off you barely notice the difference in worse handling...

+1 the stock subframes are wothless. Full-length welded subframes made a big difference on my ride.

if all you are aiming for is 14.2's i would go with gears, upper and lower control arms, sfc's and how bout some drag radials. that should get you right where you wanna be. also jegs sells a supspension drag kit for our mustangs. you gotta be able to plant the power before you add more of it.
