The last time I was on the dyno, it was putting down 297 at the wheels. This was on a Mustang dyno. Typical dynojet numbers would had been over 300, as the MD generally reads 10-15% lower in most cases.

That's running a 2.8" pulley, non-intercooled.

I vote for a convertible bar light from cdc with a brake light... i also have the glass wind blocker installed on mine.... 70 miles per hour and your girls hair will stay behind her head instead on flying all over the place... and you can have your top down in cooler weather.

duals are nice
cai/tune is nice

your average "joe" on the streets will notice and appreciate the light bar the most, sets you apart from other verts... jmo

You should paint those bullits black it will look really good with the stripes.

I have an 07 vert. I just had Ford install a Ford Racing performance package which included a CAI with Tune, and Dual exhausts with "Bullit" mufflers. Ford states it's good for a 12 HP increase. It makes a BIG difference, both in sound and performance, and since Ford installed, keeps warranty uneffected.

Go for a light bar, they really make our cars look good, IMO. Add duals next, you will pick up a little HP if done correctly.

Definitely get the cai & tuner first. Its the best bang for the buck on the Mustang V6 especially if you are an automatic. You can't go wrong with VMP tuning. Check them out! Then get the FRPP dual kit. Looks and sounds great. Its one good looking car, time to make it run better.
