Anyone know what performance mods would be available for the 2010 GT?

Brenspeed may already have a listing for some of them on their website

Orion_240

do you mean from Ford?
They have an extensive list of dealer-installed Ford Racing parts for most applications.
Plus every aftermarket mod that is currently available for the S197.
Here's a favorite for the new GT:

Exactly the same mods that are available for the 2005-2009. It's the same car just a reskinned Bullitt.

Thanks Orion, Ato, & Wilkinda! I like the forced induction - also good to know the whole assortment of mods for the 2005-2009 are possible.

Dealer told me the car has the adaptive tuning like the Bullitt for what Octane fuel is used. Anyone else heard this??

According to this article, the adaptive spark control apparently increases torque from 325lb-ft to 335 lb-ft.

“The carryover 4.6-liter V-8 now makes 315 hp — 15 more than the 2009 car — thanks to a cold-air intake setup and a heavier crank damper that raises the redline 250 rpm, both swiped from the Bullitt as well. In addition to some bragging rights ("I dare any aftermarket company to design an intake that flows better than this!" boasts Mustang engineering chief Tom Barnes), the extra shove knocks off a third of a second from the new GT's zero-to-60 times. Adaptive spark control lets the engine computer get creative with its spark timing, so juicing the car with high-octane gas will up its normal 325 lb-ft of peak torque to 335 lb-ft. The base V-6 remains the same 210-hp iron-block lump shared with the Ranger pickup truck.”

Here's another article about the adaptive tuning - apparently this motor has more torque in low to mid range if you use high octane.

“We have fantastic engines,” said Chief Nameplate Engineer Paul Randle. “Our 4.6-liter, three-valve V-8 engine has won ‘Ward’s 10 Best’ for our years in a row and is the most-accessorized engine in the marketplace. Plus, Mustang customers love to personalize their cars, and our engine platforms allow them to do that.”

Horsepower gains on the V-8 are achieved by the cold-air induction system pioneered through Ford Racing Technology. The intake is tucked behind the driver-side headlamp, mounted in an air box specific to the Mustang. Extensive sealing modifications ensure cold air from the front of the Mustang feed the engine.

A true ram-air system offered on a base GT vehicle is a first for Mustang. “That means more horsepower and more torque in all driving conditions,” Randle said.

The redline for the V-8 is increased 250 rpm to 6,500, and revised calibration ensures the customer fully feels these changes. Both the V-6 and V-8 engines have larger exhaust tips, growing to 3 and 3 ½ inches, respectively, up ½ inch from the previous model. The V-8 exhaust features polished tips.

“The 2010 Mustang runs great on regular fuel, and that is where we quote our peak numbers, but we also have a great dual-adaptive knock calibration that allows the 2010 Mustang to run on regular fuel as well as premium fuel, and the system figures it out itself,” said powertrain supervisor Chris Roxin. “It also improves the torque of the engine in the low- to mid-rpm range.”
