Hey guys, I recently signed up here as a member but I've been using the site for about 2 years for various things. I've had my 06 Mustang GT 4.6L for about 2 1/2 years and I'm just looking for some advice and tips on modifications. I don't want to miss any details whenever I start adding mods. Right now it's only got BBK cold air intake, a muffler delete, custom wheels(SVE) and sport compound tires(275 35 19 front&rear), ford performance lowering springs(1 1/2in lower?) and a full body kit. These are all things that the previous owner did, except the muffler delete. I'm looking to do full exhaust work, supercharge it, add aero, and upgrade suspension and driveline all to make the car perform well on a track but still be a great and fast daily driver. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks! IMG_20181008_115520_721.jpg

do the suspension work first, simpler, lest costly and needed once you have the blower.

BMR is a top choice for hardware in the suspension world.

as for the blower - depends on what you're looking for, many threads on Centri vs. Screw blowers, do some searching and you'll get the +/- of each.

nice looking ride!! If you plan on a blower you will need to upgrade driveshaft/suspension/probably clutch at some point/and I did brakes to the S550

Very nice looking car and pictures. Being a Roush owner I'm partial to the Roush stuff when it comes to the upgrades you have chosen, but there are a lot of choices out there for your car. Roush SC's are hard to beat and Roush backs their stuff well. Great exhaust company that gets overlooked a lot is Hearthrob, check them out. http://www.heartthrobexhaust.com/
Brakes I recommend Stoptech 4 piston. Frozen Rotors Cryo Slotted rotors. Pads several options but Hawks are hard to beat. Brake stuff questions contact Dave Zeckhausen at Zeckhausen Racing, great guy and knows his stuff... https://www.zeckhausen.com/
I do track days as well so if any questions I'll try to help...
Good luck....
I posted a recent track video here

You can spend a lot of money fast on different options. But If you are like most of us you really just want to go faster. Hold off on spending money on a lot of stuff that only looks good or makes you stop faster! You want to go faster save money and go supercharged.
There are a few less expense ways to do it like: http://departmentofboost.com/products/2005_2010_mustang_gt/gt450_index.htm
Dept of Boost has set up for around $4,000.

4.6 needs to be boosted to go fast: supercharged, turbo or nitrous!
I would not do turbo with a stick shift car.

Think about it go fast or make better sound or stop faster or lower?
Answer GO FAST.
