You and me both!
First off, Welcome to the Forum. It's a great base of knowledge and instruction for anything you're planning on doing. Now, as far as your plan, sounds good. I'm with 808 on the springs, NO CLUE! lol...as far as performance you sound like you have everything laid out. From what i've been told, the TB is pointless prior to forced induction and intake manifolds really don't do much for you to justify their cost. Aluminum driveshafts are really just a way to decrease the weight of your ride and I personally can't wait to install 4.10's in my '06 auto! Look into a TCI ratchet shifter too...those look awesome and are fun to have from what i've heard. BAMA (american muscle) makes a good tune and chirps the tires through 3rd as well (been there
) Looking forward to see your plans unfold!

This is where I've been debating. Between a twin screw or the pro charger. I've always wanted a pro charger, but I love the instant power that a twin screw produces....hmm decisions decisions

Just a question, why do you want aftermarket cams? I think too many people are ready to jump on aftermarket cams, the stock cams do very well with boosted applications and keep your driveability in check too. I know alot of the driveability is due to the tune, but my vote always is to keep the stock cams in there.
There are plenty of 3V's making 500rwhp+ with stock cams.

Yes get 4.10s with cams.
People either love alum driveshafts or hate them.
Unless you are set on getting them. My opinion is no.
I would actually think about a heftier clutch if you are both going F.I. AND cams.
Mcleod or EXEDY. Forget the rest of the brands and STAY AWAY from SPEC clutches on these Mustangs. Other than the SPEC 3, the others are garbage and cause all sorts of problems. Just do some searching on this and other forums if you wanna know how often they cause problems.
I was one of the guys who did not listen to the warnings about the SPEC clutches on this forum and I paid DEARLY for it.

As for why add cams... they do add good performance with these cars.
Even more with F.I. and some long tubes.
Even without the F.I. a set of cams and long tubes will give you 40RWHP.
That's what our 06GT gained with the Hot Rod cams and a set of long tubes.
PLUS lets not forget the AWESOME feel of the shake cams give you and the BADAZZ sound of the lope!
As long as you don't get a REALLY aggressive cam, driveability is not an issue.
They give such a cool feel to the car. It is heavenly!
Cams are an AWESOME mod for these cars in my opinion!
