Ford Fest Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 A good friend of mine and his wife just purchased a super low mileage 2007 GT, black on black. This is their first Mustang and although it is not a Shelby they are hoping I can get them some advise for some small mods that will wake up the 4.6 and give it their personal touch. Nothing major or obnoxious, but just want to make it theirs. They are considering. . . Mufflers (just mufflers, not full system), CAI, Tune What do you recommend? What brand etc? Anyone have any of their take off parts for sale that would be upgrades from factory parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Well, I got rid of the mufflers and went with SLP Loudmouths - great sound, no drone. FRPP CAI or other. Custom dyno-tune is best, but there are some good "canned" tunes out there, I suggest a call to Justin Starke at VMP Tuning. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any of their take off parts for sale that would be upgrades from factory parts? The best mod would be 410 gears, hands down.Cold air induction and a tune would be next , doing this as a combination. I had the brenspeed tune and it was very noticeable. I have the one piece driveshaft installed but that is to pricey for what you get. And of course an supercharger is the best but very costly. Shorty headers are marginal but long-tubes would be noticeable but more costly.The list goes on and on.Good-Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACERX009 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yes 4.10 gear will be a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGJ Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I love my FRPP KR mufflers!!!! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0128 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 IMHO, 4.10 gears are the best bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr2turtle Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I second the FRPP KR mufflers as well. The cold air intake would probably be right up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Dennis Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 The E-Force supercharger is not too costly, is it? Anyone know the installed cost for that? Plenty of bang for the buck. You don't need 550 HP unless you drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 You don't need 550 HP unless you drag. Hmmm. If we were facebook friends, I'd unfriend you! You are probably right in some ways, but I don't think 550 is enough some days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 E-Force here - 466 hp / 420 lb tq at the rear wheels - self installed it came in at about $6500. The numbers are 5 lbs of boost with a dyno tune and CAI. Stock Edelbrock tune and stock airbox will give about 420 hp / 400 lb tq. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunky Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Don't under estimate the effects of suspension mods. After renting a stock Mustang on this years vacation, I have a totally new respect for the SGT suspension package. You don't need to go really fast to tell the difference.

THIS is the best answer for sure. Stance and handling first, then wheels (chose carefully IF any plans for big brakes later though), then exhaust.

ShelbyDW Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 550 Whipple with stock Shelby suspension is awsome. Just saying. With some good rubber, its fun, fast and sneaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDTAIL Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 i would start on the bottom and work my way up suspension then wheels JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Fest Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Guys, thank you for all of the feedback. I'll pass this along. We'll see how much his wife will let him invest in their new ride. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledfoot73 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 If not a supercharger definitely the 4:10 gears then the stickiest street tires you can get. Go for the grip with the tires, it's not a Honda civic and your probably not going to drive it 20k miles a year anyway, and even if you did it's a heck of a lot more fun.

Jer Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Handling package. Brakes. Cold air kit + Underdrive pullies + Dyno tune (as a package). In that order. Just my 2 cents! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
