'02 Mustang GT.....help.
My neighbor has an '02 Mustang GT. We have recently replaced the exhaust from the exhaust manifolds back with an SLP x-pipe (no cats) and Loud Mouth. The stock intake was replaced with BBK cold air intake, throttle body, and plenum. The stock pulley's have been replaced. He owns a Diablo Sport tuner and has a short throw shift kit on the way.
The reason I'm asking for help is, what are some other things he can do to go along with what is on the car now? Headers, cam, heads, please reply with ideas, also, if you have a set up that is similar, please let me know what you have done and if you have the numbers you are putting out that would be appreciated too.
Thank you.

Replace that BBK cai for a JLT unit.
Well I dont know what mods to advise as I do not know what his goals and plans are for the car. However I would always advise on SFC's and LCA's to make the suspension better.

Naturally Aspirated, or with a power adder?
NA- Full bolt ons including longtube headers, o/r midpipe, exhaust, VT or comp cams(springs if going stage 2) and a good tune and he can see 300 rwhp.
Power adder- NX 100 shot with Gen x 2 upgrade, NGK TR6 plugs gapped at .053".
I would recommend gears, but again havent given me any info on the goals. Just a hp goal and not what the car will be used for. Hope this helps

Why not, it's one of the best Bang for the buck modifications, I don't see why it would be overlooked. Don't Fear the Gear
L/T's definitely will help, a nice set of Crower stage 2 s/c cam's with the matching Crower springs will really wake up the n/a engine. Junk the BBK Cai, it's worthless.
