Default Cam questions for 2006 gxp

hey guys im looking at a 2006 gxp, my question is before buying it is how mod friendly are these cars? Such as cam, heads, intakes and headers. What can be done/has done and are they worth it to do. Thanks

I've got the TFS 205cc heads with a 216/220 cam, LS6 intake manifold, DT headers, full 3" catless exhaust. I made 351whp on a Mustang Dyno. Which these cars stock dyno from 240-250whp on a Dynojet typically.

So for about $6k give or take a bit, I picked up 120-130whp figuring I would make roughly 370whp on a Dynojet. Also budget for a performance built transmission.

LS6 intake swap with DoD delete: $1.2k
Headers: $700
Exhaust: $900
TFS Package: $3k
And miscellaneous other parts

Nice build! Where is your build thread?
Can you post a dyno sheet? I made 350/330 before the head swap and figure I'm around 380whp now.
