Get yourself a nice set of heads to go with your TB, cam, and intake manifold. You should see decent gains over the stock E7s. Even if you have to go to a junkyard and rip some GT40 heads off of an old Ford Explorer, it's better than stock. Judging by your sig, you already have gears and a shift kit so you're looking good there. And if you have full suspension, then you should be gripping fairly well.

A 100 shot should be safe for you, as long as it's setup properly.

But if you're looking for nice gains, a supercharger will do the trick. But even if you do get a S/C, I would still swap out your heads. Those things looks like your bottleneck right now. (if you have better TB, intake, headers, cam.)
i'd imagine it's pretty hard to put 5.0 heads on a 4.6. 4.6's have ****ty options as far as aftermarket heads

LMAO I didn't even notice the year of his car. I'm so used to posting in the 5.0 section I forget that not everyone has a 5.0, LoL. My bad.

Yeah, the prices for 4.6 mods are a LOT more expensive then their 5.0 counterparts

well...sounds like you might have yourself a nice setup going...as for basic mods? a good TB, upper and lower intake, heads (patriot makes some of the best in the business), you'd probably want to gear your cams towards a turbo/supercharger if your looking to go there (crane, crower, comp cams etc etc)...you've pretty much got the top end topped off for f/i, now without having to dive into the bottom end, id recommend a supercharger, because your gonna push the limits with boost and a 100 shot which isnt good for cast internals...it will get you the times without having to deal with such things as turbo lag and the excessive heat...i have a procharger on my cobra and am very pleased with the results
oh yeah, your not going to make it out without a little shaving of your wallet...modular parts are a little more expensive than most ppl would like...but just think of it this way...you have to pay for about half of what the cobra guys have to buy top end wise
if you want to shop a little yourself, here are my two favorite sites to check www.seanhylandmotorsports.com, www.modularmustangracing.com

i just had to note...for 95% of even car enthusiasts....a street car in the low 11's, 10's IS insanely fast and it's not cheap...especially for a 2v modular.

well i see u have twin turbo on there with the mods...i gave engine mods, but assuming u hit all the right traction things to hook (uppers and lowers, gears, etc etc) and depending on your choice of lbs of boost and tune...you're hitting your goal very well and you should get the numbers your looking for...as for choices on parts for the rear end and the tune...im an IRS dude and a local shop will know how to individually tune your car for your performance gains

Im still concerned with stock internals and sprayin 100 shot on top of boost...theres another post about that some where floatin around
