I just wanted to thank everyone who has giving me advice on this forum. This forum has some of the best people on it (aside from a few Trolls

) and I actually read posts here everyday at work.

Now for the fun: I went to the speed shop yesterday and put $2500 down to order a Vortech SQ-Trim. This system comes with a 90mm Mass air, bigger injectors, tuned chip, intercooler and aftercooler... Now this is rated at 490HP at the crank so before dyno, I would estimate 416HP at the wheel. Thinking about Borla cat-back as well. Decision came down to my bank account and the speed shop's experience. I'm sooooooooooooooooooo d@mn excited!!!!!

Haha, ok.... so..... what's next?!

Thanks everyone!!!!!!

P.S. It may take me a while to get track times. I'm not used to 400+HP, I want to drive it semi-normally for a few weeks to get the feel.

Thats gonna be one hell of a car when you get that blower strapped on there. I may have to meet up with you and check out your car one weekend and you can give me a spin

But seriously, the next step I would probably take would be and exhaust system and an aftermarket shifter. I'd start with an H or X-pipe and then do the catback. Check out FRPP's (Ford Racing) Cobra catback. Apparently it sounds great and releases some big power gains.
Just curious, what speed shop you went to? BP Speed?
