I just bought a 2004 Mustang GT 40th Anniversary Edition.....and I'm looking to throw a few worthwhile bolt-ons at it. I'm an LS1 guy at heart so I'm completely clueless as to what "works" on these motors

Throw me some ideas please......

basic bolt ons. long tubes, Xpipe, no cars, catback. Pulleys, CAI, 100shot and tune and youll be set for a while.

Pullies and a CAI arn't going to yeild much power for the money.

Definatley get a nice set of long tubes with an o/r mid pipe and a set of mil elminators.

Gears (don't fear the gear, the modulars love the upper RPM's), Cam's, and aluminum drive train would be a good starting direction for you.

Cam's, and aluminum drive train would be a good starting direction for you.

Already looking at a heads/cams swap (Patriot Stage II heads and Comp XE262AH cams), can you reccommend a valvetrain manufacturer ??

How about a long-tube header that will work with an auto trans too ??

BBK headers are what I have on my 97. You wanna go with comp cams valve springs. patriot should have a complete package with cams and valvetrain all included.

Patriot does have a complete package, but the cam specs look REALLY big to me compared to the Comp XE262AH cams I was looking at.....please take a look at THIS PAGE (http://sites.reachtheworld.tv/waterNew/default.asp?T=505244&DID=1225) and tell me what you think of the Stage II heads and the cam they have listed. What kind of tuning/stall would be required to make this a streetable combo....and what kind of power gain could be expected from that combo

Maybe after all that Put suspention all around, i tight rear end 3:73, anthing higher sucks over 50 mph, and then get a smooth pair of Street Cheaters.. you'll Be SET~!
