02 4.6 stang suggestions?

[JayD089]

Hey all,
Today was the day I sucked it up and unburied the stang from its frozen crypt. To my surprise she started right up. Strong girl she is.

I was wondering can anyone suggest my next mod? Ill list what I have.

Cold air intake
True duel pypes exhaust
Short throw shiftier.
Thats all the performance mods I have.

Any guidance is appreciated

If you want to go performance:
1. Throttle body/plenum
2. Tune/Gears
3. Heads/Cam

If you want superior drivability:
Springs/shocks
LCA
strut tower braces
sway bars
Etc.

What's your goal for the car?

+1 for gears and tune, definitely depends on the route you want to take with the car

I would like to build my stang as a pro street.

Plus 2 for gears and tune..............front rear sway bars and lower the ride.

If you're looking to drag race the car then go this route.


Get your car on a dyno for a custom tune. You will get more gains from this then with any bolt-ons.

Change the rear gears then build the suspension to hook at the track. Get really good and you can get into the high 12's on stock power. Just remember, suspension for drag racing and suspension for a comfy ride are at opposite ends of the scale.


If you want to build power go FI. Any form of NA build will be expensive and yield low 300whp at best. If you're good on your searches you can piece a non IC supercharger kit together for around $1500 and hit 400whp on a stock motor.

3.73 Gears, subframe connectors, lower control arms and a supercharger would be the best route.
