Nice. I wish I wasn't only a month and 1k miles into owning the car or I would do more without warranty concerns. I'd really like a tune, headers, and a 350 intake but I'll have to wait.
If you really want to go fast your gonna have to forget about your warranty. If any of the modded parts cause an issue they wont cover it anyway! This will my 2nd high hp mustang my 1st one lost its warranty a month after purchase it got all the way up to 641 rwhp 557 torque.. Had it for 5 years and it never had to see the dealership its whole life!

Before I spent a penny in swapping gears. I would buy a stall. Look at the fast list and the 60' times between the 2 gears. It is by far not worth what it will cost. I put a stall in my n/a 15 and that was more than worth the $$

If you want just a little more then Circle D will rework your stock converter to get you about 500 more rpm stall speed. That only cost $550

My 4c was awesome. I have a 16 GT now with a automatic and a TVS. I miss that stall bad. It was a blast to drive!!

My car has 3.15's and I think the swap to 3.55's and a GT350 intake manifold would be a pretty good bang for the buck. I've almost completely talked myself out of buying headers. $1500 for headers and $800 for install plus tuning adjustments makes my a$$ itch.
If you are going to do the GT350 manifold headers will be well worth it. Most likely you can find locals to help you with the install. I paid $630 shipped for my 1 7/8" stainless headers with catless mids and installed them myself with the help of a friend.

I bought my Stainless power with cats for $900 new and paid a friend $400 to put them on. I had a GT350 setup also. I got more out of the headers than I did out of the intake swap at the track

Thanks everyone. I've been looking around. Right now I'm thinking Ford Racing Track Suspension kit, Ford Brembo front brakes set, gt350 intake, PMAS CAI, Kooks headers (or maybe a cheaper set), Lund tune, and maybe I'll look into a stall. Obviously not all at once, I wish I had the $$$ to do it at the same time. :) I just installed the Roush axle-back, and J&M X pipe. Next will probably be the PMAS, then eventually Brembo kit, followed by the track suspension, and on to the intake and headers in the distant future.

Coming from somebody that had all the mods you are looking to do. The stall would by far be my first mod if I did it over again. By far the last mod would be the GT350 setup. I would spend that on the stall any day.

Just swapped from 3.15 to 3.55 and I love them. I found another auto car going turbo so we just did an even exchange. Daily driving and rolls are night and day. Finally got a test at the drag strip and dropped .2 sec but weather was a little better. I swapped from 28" to 26" a while back. Run was 11.472 @ 113. Even if it was a tad slower at the track, they are so much fun everywhere else I would have been ok with it I think.
