I think I will go that route. The whole damn setup and it cost less than long tube headers did for my old car.

What about suspension guys? I'll buy the s/c parts on Friday (minus the head unit, going to have to scavenge hunt for that) but I need to know what kind of suspension mods to get.

If you aren't too picky about buying used parts, try and find some used injectors. Also, if you do a DIY intercooler kit off ebay, you won't have to buy the discharge tubing so you wouldn't be spending that much extra on the intercooler.

i would look into maximum motorsports for suspension. They are pretty much the best for 5.0 foxes so ive decided they would be good enough for me

they got a lot of track testing behind their stuff, and from what ive read and the few times ive talked to them they are more worried about getting it right than making it light.

for 4k you are crazy not to s/c!!!!

there is no other bolt on mod you can do that will add the power of a s/c and not to mention it is hands down the best mod bang for your buck.

super charge and steeda suspension kit for $800. Definitely lower the car for better handling.
Why steeda, because it's steeda and I've seen good reviews on MM&FF and 5.0 Mustang magazines.
You'll be gunnin like a mad man! lol
