Why? The new 4.0L SOHC is a pretty decent engine that gets good gains from bolt-ons. I would say that they see about as good of gains as the 4.6L SOHC.

I would do bolt-ons if I were you. Some people have been able to get into the high 13's with bolt-ons only. You can also make them handle amazingly well.

So you bought a brand new mustang and a V6 at that and now you want more power? You could of bought a v8 and been happy. shouldnt you of considered that before? i know nothing about the new stangs but seriously high 13 is far from impressive with boltons and you say that just SOME have done it. You say as good of gains, so do you mean they gain the same hp? even so your still lacking the displacement, and obviously he's not worried about mpg since he wants more power.

If you want performance, intake and tune should be your first mod.

Cause every V8 owner gets home and says "Wow, I'm so impressed with the power, I'm not going to modify it at all."

If you're a car guy, you're going to modify anything you have with wheels. If I had a Saleen S7 of a Ford GT, I'd have it torn down in the first week looking for ways to move more air.

V8 drivers just get bummed because a new V6 Mustang can hang with or even beat many modern V8 Mustangs.

I would start with gears (4:10s or 4:30's), then intake, exhaust, pulley's, cams, and a tune.
Stock for stock a new v6 is just as fast as an old 5.0 so displacement obviously doesn't mean everything anymore, look at skittles, and evo's and sti's.
