He* 
D) has 65,000 miles. Two owners before me and neither one of them abused it at all. I don't abuse it either. But my boyfriend now has a 416RWHP Supra, his dad has an 800RWHP twin-turbo Vette, and someone decided it would be nice to tell me that I have the slowest car of the bunch. I'm not looking for 800HP, I don't know if I'm even looking for 400 right now. I just want to add a little bit here and there, so it's quicker than it is now, so that I can at least cruise around with them and be respected. Domestics are becoming more and more rare around here, everyone's switching over to Imports. A friend of mine has an awesome Vette, making around 300 or so HP, and I love hanging out with him, I just wish my car was a little bit closer to his.

hey! welcome! i got an auto as well. our cars are about 210-230 hp at the wheel. adding a supercharger will increase it by 100 right away. costs about 3.5k
if u wanna start n/a you can go with new
-tb/plenum combo
-4.10 gears (u will start from 0 hella quick with these gears, but will loose top end speed)
-manifold
-cams
-heads
-headers

I have a friend with a cammed Camaro, I don't really like the sound of it. Too classic muscle car-sounding for such a modern car. And as for the headers, I was going to do them but I have a Bassani high-flow catted X-Pipe, which sounds amazing with the Bassani catback, so I won't get rid of that. Only shorties fit with the Bassani X, and I love the sound too much to give that up. Most guys say that shorties aren't worth the money for the amount of power they give. I would get them because I'm sure that they add some kind of power, every little bit helps. Otherwise I think that someone suggested that I could get long-tubes and have someone custom weld them in. Not sure yet though. I don't have too much money to spend right now, what with paying off the car and two school loans, but I'd like to do one thing at a time.
udp are Underdrive Pulleys. they dont necessarily add hp, instead u recover lost hp (about 10). they are 200 bucks. as for the TB, i'd say if ur not planning to mod ur car too heavily go for 70mm.
my gt is a daily driver as well. these are cheap n simple ways to get ur hp up while saving up to get more mods done

Here's my thing. By me, there are only six-cylinder Mustangs. The only eight-cylinders are friggen Cobras. I like to go cruising with the guys, but when the Cobras pull up and I have a plain old GT, it makes me want more power. I'm not looking for a crazy car, like I said I just want to have enough HP to be respectable, to not feel like I'm so much slower than all the guys around me.
I think eventually I'd like to supercharge it. Maybe. But as for right now, I wanna build up my motor, tranny, everything like that, until I can do something more.

the 03/04 cobras are underrated at 390hp. most drivers have dyno'd em stock and are getting anywhere between 410-420. if u want the fastest and cheapest way, go for a supercharger which will throw u in the low 300's ez.
u should also get 4.10's to keep ur rpm's within boost range.
till i figure out what exactly u wanna do, u can start with all those mods listed above. tbapp just started modding his engine, u can go his route too. but if ur planning to get a s/c, a cai would be pointless

i would go with a P1 Procharger. They can still be driver daily without a problem and have tons of power. my brothers 02 GT had a bone stock 4.6 with 75000 miles on it and it made 402 RWHP and 408 RWTQ and he drove it to work everyday and took it out on the weekends to cruises and raced around syracuse.. and then if ya wanted a lil more snap id throw a set of 3:73 gears in the rear.. might loose a lil fuel mileage but wont be too bad.
Hey!! For the underdrive pulleys, I'm looking on American Muscle.com.. How do I know if I have a piggyback crank pulley, or a one-piece crank pulley? (I have a 2002 GT.) Annnnd if anyone looks on there, do I go with the black Steeda's, or the aluminum 3-piece BBK? The aluminum ones are niiiiicceeeee
