Replace MSD Kit and driveshaft with Cam and 1.6 Roller Rockers. Then destroy Mustangs.

Take it easy with the capslock, feels like I'm getting yelled at.

If you're gonna do gears do a stall too. Gear, stall, exhaust and you should bury most of the 4.6s out there unless they have a lot of work done at which time you spray some giggle juice and own face.

Full bolt on's and a good stall with a tune. You'll smash on most stuff out here stop light to stop light wise. I was running dead even with my buddies 04 mach 1 (exhaust and gears) when I had CAI, cutout, and a 3200 stall.
Make sure you get a big *** trans cooler though. Don't bother with the driveshaft or the msd stuff. Just do a good tune up and start with the bolt on's.
Make sure you have a place to smog if your going to run LT's, unless you like swapping your stock stuff on every two years.

I had a performabuilt stall at the time. I enjoyed it and daily drove it for about 1.5 yrs. I also hear Yank makes a good one.

Oh and if you can swing it, get a pair of M/T ET streets for the rears, you'll hook good on the street with those.

If you think 3600 is too big then do a 3400 or 3500

i dunno about you guys but my car had 186xxx, some small suspension upgrades, 410s,cut out and a cai and i was running 13.90-14.08 on street tires. This was plenty to keep the stangs away.

^Yes but it will not keep the new stangs away. For that we will need full boltons and stall maybe even a cam.
