Hello. I'm the owner of a 2004 GT. This is my third Mustang in the last 20 years, and by far the best. I must admit, getting used to the mod motor was rough, but now I love the silly things.

I was content to drive my stock GT for several months, but then a good friend introduced me to his '99 Cobra with 150 wet shot. Since then, I've spent countless hours researching parts and problems, scouring ebay for the best deals, and making an awfully long list of things to buy. I'm not looking to build 1,000 RWHP, just more than the average joe. For now, I'm planning to bolt on enough power to smoke a stock '05. I figure 325 HP with 3.73s should do the trick. Maybe when all the warranties are off, I'll look at Kenne Bell's 1.7 system. Now THAT looks like fun.

I look forward to reading the posts and asking for advise.

325 from bolt ons?! Good luck. You'll probally hit 300 if your lucky. Just because ford says you have 260 hp it doesn't mean you have 260 RWHP. Thats what counts. And the 1.7 kenne bell at 9PSI will get you to a tad over 400 hp. Welcome to the forums. Have fun.
