Hey, so I am a newbie and was wondering if someone can help me out. I have a '01 GT, but unfortueately it's auto. But I freakin' love it. It's 100% completely STOCK. I want to make upgrades slowly every year I come back to the States. I am living in South America. Roads here suck, otherwise I would bring it. But let's get down to business. I want my stang to be absolutely kick-ass...we're talking fast, and strong. Can someone write me a massive email with what I should change/upgrade to make this thing as fast as it can be, while still being street legal? I've read up things to do (bolt ons), but the completed result will take a few years as I am out of the country. Tell me ALL (gears 3.90 for an auto?, headers, exhaust, superchargers, chips, etc...all in order of what I should do first...to last) Thanks....
Help a newbie...

Best question to ask you is, "what are your specific goals?"
Do you want a drag racer, street monster, or corner carver?

You have an auto: Get 4.10s as your gears.
Upgrade your exhaust. Get a higher-flowing midpipe first, then catback, then headers (cost-wise, the best order to purchase).
Supercharge it (Kenne Bell, Novi 2000, Vortech are some of my favorite options).
Upgrade your suspension with SFC's, LCA's, an STB, and a decent shock setup. Check out partshopper.com & maximummotorsports.com for these pieces.
Many more people will chime in, so sit back and listen.

you will need to get a forged internal setup for a KB blower if you want over 400hp, i think that 4.10's might be too steep for a twin screw blower and you would just revv out to fast in first, i would go with 3.73's instead...oh and another thing they forgot to mention is weld your torque boxes and axle tubes.
Since it's a automatic the J-mod will be nice along with a hand held tuner, high stall convertor, and the gears oh and a tranny cooler
