4.10:1 ring and pinion gears and a frpp t-lok differential will shave about .5 off your e/t. when i had full bolt ons and added gear/lsd, it shaved .5 off my e/t... invest in some drag radials too.

Lower it for a better weight transfer, u/d pulleys and tuner as it has been said, and also as it has been said the t-lok and the gears. Dunno how fast you can get money in, but if you can check out www.supersixmotorsports.com and invest in a powerpak. You will def humilate the ricers, and keep up with the tuners who were fortunate enough to get a fast import, and thats if you don't pass them.

Most ppl dont care but a 99-04 v6 mustang can slap down what like a 14.5- 15.5 timeslip. Back in the day it took a stock '70 or '71 mustang mach 1 to run the exact same time. It may not seem like you are hauling ass compared to modern muscle but it is still quick. cant argue with the #'s

gives considerable body roll into corners, but does not affect alignment

you will have worse handling due to body roll, but it wont be as worse on a lowered application as opposed to stock ride height. mine is lowered with frpp c springs and i removed my sway bar. i have considerable body roll, but i drive daily without issues

imo, i spent more doing all bolt ons than doing an 11psi procharger. now, the bolt ons can aid the poweradder a lot, but for the bang:buck ratio, i would go big first.

+1
or a turbo or a power pak as well

not only that but after you buy other bolt ons especially long tubes for a s/c you'll feel them alot more then on a n/a car
