Start modding the Trans and get a Stall and 4.10s , and you will soon forget its just an auto !
Have fun and good luck with your new New Edge
I run with a B&M trans cooler 7068 , very easy to install , B&M sells a few larger coolers but this one seems to work good !
As for Shift kits , dont wast your money , they are not good for your trans , when you learn more about the 4R70W trans , look into doing the J-Mod , its a factory shift kit mod from the 4R70Ws designer , who suggest doing this over Shift kits from Trans Go or B&M and it cost just about nothing to do , just drill 6 holes larger in the seperator plate and removing 1-2 and 2-3 shift springs!
Heres some info on the J-Mod , it tells you everything you need to know about doing this to the 99+ 4R70W , go to page two to read detailed instructions !

Good find and the auto can be fun too! I just have a programmer on mine and it made a HUGE difference. Car breaks them loose going into second and shifts right where I want it to. If I wanted it to be a track car then I would do the J-mod as well but now I may sell the car.
4.10s will get you up and going the best but if its primarily a street car then I would do 3.73's. Personally I like 3.55s the best but everyone on here with an auto GT says "don't fear the gear"
Looking foreword to seeing the new beast

As others said, dont waste any money on bolt ons yet. Go straight for 4.10s (they are perfect, some guys even like 4.30s and I can imagine why) and get a handheld tuner to improve shifting and give you a bit of extra hp.
It makes a HUGE difference from stock. Much more than anything else I've done to my car.
I'd be pissed if I'd bought 3.73s!!!

You still should get 23+mpg on the highway and you should get better mpg around town over the stock 3.27s.
Come on dont wuss out , read all you can on the mod , get all the tools in line , put the stang on stands and dive in head first !
As for shops , look in Jeresy im sure you could find a good shop somewhere , The only problem with that is paying 8 bucks getting back into Staten Island
I live on LI and the shop you want to bring your car to is RealSpeed Automotive in Bohemia, they specilize in Mustangs and are a full shop/dyno tuning facility. The owners name is Dan Carlson, he's a good guy and a straight shooter. They're also very careful and clean, they'll wrap your seats and steering wheel in plastic while they work on the car.
