You will beat the GT like nothing.

When my 93' had hooker shorties, LM1 exhaust 2.73 gears (EWWW) and tune i beat my friends 07' Mustang GT by about 2 cars from a 50-110 roll.

Now that i have my Yank, and 3.73 gears im looking forward to RAPING his mustang now.

I would start with catback exhaust/CAI

I had shorty headers already (ditching them soon though) so I just moved onto 3.73 gears and 3600 stall. Tranny took a dump in mine so bought a nice new Performabuilt Level 2 tranny

These guys have all taken care of you. Just read their lists and the difference of your car now to all of those bolt-on's done will be a NIGHT AND DAY difference

Like they said....you'll lay waste to the stang, but just to reassure you heres a pretty sweet read: http://www.fastcoolcars.com/z28_vs_gt.htm

Heres my favorite line from that article: Our Z28 lunged to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, while the GT needed 6.1 By the 130 mph mark, the gap had ballooned with the Z28 reaching that speed in 26.6 seconds, versus 44.7 for the GT.

7) N2O
Fixed it a shade.

the only stangs that will give you a hard time will be MACH1 and the COBRA

Not trying to say Mach1's are not quick but for what they are rated I was dead even with my buddy's and was quite supprised at it. It was me with CAI, Cutout and 3000 stall and 2.73's. Him was O/R H-pipe, spintech mufflers, and 4.10's.

Anyways, OP you will have no problem with a GT stock or modded.
