Exclamation 4.6 GT guys, my overall mod evaluation

Well, seeing as I have just about every bolt on for the new 4.6's but headers, I decided to post my feelings on the various mods I have done. They are ranked in order of how much I felt a difference after their install.

1. 4.10 Gears. Car pulls way harder throughout the powerband. I can smoke the tires all the way up to about 30mph!

2. Bassani X-pipe. Whereas the car used to start to lag around 45-50mph when I was streetracing, after the install, the car just kept right on pulling.

3. C&L 80mm MAF. When I took the car out after the install, I couldn't believe it. I didnt think I'd feel anything, but there was a noticeable gain up higher in the RPM. Really felt as if the car could finally breathe.

4. Underdrive pulleys. Not sure if I felt a gain, but the car did wind up easier, and I could finally chirp second gear from a stop.

5. Autologic Chip. Again, didn't notice any hp gain per se, but the car shifts much firmer, and drives differently.

6. Magnaflow mufflers. No horsepower or torque gain, but the car felt a little smoother at freeway speeds.

7. 70mm Throttle Body. Absolute waste of cash. Other than the cool whistling noise it puts out, it wasn't worth a dime. And it totally changed the throttle response, took me a while to get used to it.

If I had it all to do over again, I'd scrap all these bolt ons, and go with a V2-SQ and the Bassani Pipe from the beginning and be done with it.
