Default Got an 04 GT picked up some mods!

Hello all, new to the site and to mustangs. Just got an 04 GT, already picked up some goodies for her

JLT CAI
ACCUFAB 75mm throttle body, Plenum and TB spacer
sf3 tuner
MGW shifter
Ford racing LOK limited slip diff
4.10 gears (ford racing)
moser axles
BBK Ceramic long tube headers
off road H pipe (no cats)
Eibach front and rear sways
Front and rear strut tower braces
Cobra front end brake conversion kit
Cobra rear brake conversion kit ( I am having a hard time finding rear calipers that will work and match the front red ones)
Rear LED sequential tail lights

Car already has a Borla Stinger cat back. Am I off to a good start? Just looking to turn her into a street racer, perhaps a 1/4 mile monster.

BTW car has a 5 speed

Thanks all

Wow, that's quite the list to purchase all at once lol. What did all that run you? It's a good start, but it depends on your ultimate goals. A good used nitrous kit can be had for around $300-$500, and a used blower for around 2k.

That's a great list for just getting the car. Congrats on the Stang.

I'm not 100% sure but around 3-3500 Most of the stuff I'll do myself but things like the long tubes and gear swap, A shop will do.

thats not too bad for a used blower if I has everything included (tuner, injectors, fuel pump etc...) Im thinking if I do go with a blower a centrifugal might do me better than a twin screw bc with all the mods listed I have a feeling my first and second gear would be pretty much used just to get her rolling and the centrifugal chargers power would come on higher in the rpm band.

Yep, with 4.10's the car would be a real handful with a twin screw. My 3.90's on the juice is just crazy....i don't even attempt to spray 1st gear lol.

$2000-$2500 for a used Vortech is not out of the question with all the basic necessities.

Off to a good start for sure. But if your looking for a quick pickup and #s look for a used sc. Bolt on's are fun and all but that sc will make it all worth it. No matter what you do your 1st is gone with those 4.10s now lol, at least on streets

Wow what a huge waste of money. No offense but if you have/had the money to buy all those parts at once, you would have been better off building a supercharger setup. You would have spent less and made way more rwhp. With all those mods you are looking at probably 260rwhp. Just adding a supercharger alone would have put you in the 350rwhp range.
