Upgrading my 05

I've been pretty fortunate with the various bolt on's, but since I've added the Vortech.....I've gotten power hungery for more RWHP/Torque. With the winter weather swooping down I've dropped my 05 Mustang Convertible off at Dallas Mustang for some upgrades. They are putting in a stroker kit, a .30 overbore, new clutch plate and a Blo-by Stage 1 cam with upgraded springs etc. I'm planning on spanking my pony thru the 1/4 mile just to see what I can get. Just wondering if there is anything else I need to do to keep the
competition level going. Any ideas?
You can see my car on the Dallas Mustang website:
Classic Mustang Parts and Late Model Performance Superstore - Catalogs
scroll down to the black/silver over red convertible.
thanks

with the bottom end done you will soon be looking at doing the rearend and trans. or they will soon be broken.

Especially if you're going to use sticky slicks on a well-prepped runway. Something to consider at least

I would upgrade the trans first. I would say a viper spec t56 and either a built 8.8 or a 9in.

The guys @ DM built my car back in 05, Justin @ DM has done a great job on my Pony. When a company does right by you.... you just keep going back....and yep, like the guy from Florida said.
Greedy guy wanting more? I drove nothing but Vettes from 90 thru 2004.
Saw the new body style of the Mustang and crossed over from the dark side.
I'm just and old coach that likes to go fast. Looks like I will be doing some work on the transmission and rear end now.
