Got a nice chunk of change and thinking of buying these mods. Tell me what you think.


Ok I got some spare cash, and I want to buy some stuff. Well a lot of stuff to be exact. Now I am buying this all from a place called themustangshop.ca because it is a 2 hour drive from me and would save a bunch on shipping (I'll drive there and get it myself) and won't have to worry about duty, etc.

Anyways, this is what I am thinking thus far:

2005 to 2006 Ram Air Hood Cervinis
Spec clutch Stage 3 05/06 GT
2005-2006 Whipple Supercharger Mustang GT 10PSI
V8 Power Package 2005-2007
2005 to Brand5965812971536 Gt 2.5Off Road Pro Chamber
2005 to 2006 GT Flowmaster Axle Back System
2005 GT 1.75" Long Tube Race Headers MAC
Ford Racing Suspension Kit
3.73 Ring And Pinion Set 8.8 FRPP


Does that sound like a decent start? What else would/should I get as well? Any help is appreciated. I also plan on ordering a 1 piece aluminum drive shaft, but this place doesn't seem to have it so I am gonna check somewhere else for it.

Don't do the Power Pack. Everything else looks good.

You dont run underdrive pulleys with a supercharger
The Whipple will replace your intake, so no need for the deletes
Not sure if the JLT will work with the Whipple, but if so you can buy it seperately

Alrighty, thanks. New to this whole modding thing so want to make sure I am not over lapping stuff that I don't need. Guess I'll try to buy the CAI and tuner seperate then.

No problem man, thats what the site is all about. If the JLT will work with the Whipple( I dont think it will, pretty sure actually) you can buy it in a cai/tuner combo. If not just buy the X-Cal seperate for around $400

Lol, I've been saving up for awhile and figure I can spend around $15,000 for the parts and install.

What kind of power do you guys think that will bring me up to?

I know the hood doesn't add more power, but I'm pretty sure it's a functioning Ram Air hood and it looks far better then the stock hood. As for the clutch, I thought the stock clutch was only good till around 400rwhp? And as for the axel backs and suspension kit, if I can find the ones you are talking about in Alberta (maybe this place can even find them for me) then I'll check them out.

Oh one other question. I'm not what you call all that smart when it comes to cars (I know how to drive one and that's pretty much it lol). But anyways, when it comes to the exhaust. Is what I ordered there everything I need to replace the stock exhaust? If not, what else would I need?

Best advice I can give you is do alot of research before you buy something. Find as much as you can about a product and ask on here. Good luck on everything

everything looks good.

power package not needed!! JLT intake will not work on the whipple blower, nor the delete plates.

you will also need to invest in an SCT tuner and find a good tuner around your area, for you will need advanced tuning for your longtube header exhaust if you decide to add that with the whipple supercharger. although the whipple comes with a tune, the tune is only for a stock mustang!

however I'd look around to other vendors on the internet and here on the forums, you can get the parts for way more cheaper than that mustang shop website, especially the whipple blower!! this website is way overpriced!

Yes it is, only thing is the Prochamber that you have selected, is for stock manifolds of shorty headers. You need the one made for Longtubes.

I agree, supercharger,rotating assembly,clutch and i think you would be very happy because of the power gain and the comfort of knowing you have stronger internals.Very important like the stangers said, find a reputable shop to install and tune also to do your engine you don't want to go somewhere cheaper with no good reputation cause you will end up a sick mtfr in the end and they will take no responsibility for the problem,read enough about the bullshit with some of these shops.Thats just me,i like go show could wait.
