So Im new to the 99-04 World. I had an 89 Coupe and traded it in for an 04 GT 5-speed. I love the car. There is so much stuff out there for these cars I really don't know where to start. It has stock headers, Mac Pro Chamber H-pipe, flowmaster mufflers and tips. It has a MAF and upgraded fuel rails.

Welcome to the 4.6 world...Congrats on your new ride

personally I always like to start with suspension first & get the stance looking right, then I would do some 3.73's & maybe wheels??? Up to you though & the possibilities are virtually endless....

I've had great luck with my gt. I put nitrous on it with only 6000 miles. The only reason I went into motor is becasue I put cams in and had piston to valve issues. I'd get some 4.10s, and a tuner to start. Great looking car and let the mods begin.

You can use the IMG code to show the pics directly on here.
Nice ride I let my cop friend across the stree drive both Cobras. He rally pushed them which is cool cause this is the section he patrols I feel a little safer about doing 15 over
Any way I agree with Epik, our cars get ALOT faster when they can put the power down and the overall feeling is night and day whgen you do subframes, control arms, springs/shocks and a pan hard. You can embarres some very expensive cars with these simple mods

Welcome to the site and feel free to ask any questions. Guys and gals on here are very helpful and friendly...........just watch out for LaserSVT cause hes an ass

Thanks, I really love the new car, going from an 89 coupe to the 04 Gt is a big dfifference in itself. I am going to be looking into the suspension stuff shortly.

Be careful, once you start modding its really hard to stop.

Stay safe out there.

Nice GT! Once you start modding, you won't be able to stop!

Any pics of your CV PI?

welcome man!
Also, thank you for your service!

Since its not your first rodeo, what are your goals for the car? Street or strip, or both?

Welcome to Stangnet.

It looks like there is a chrome SCT badge on the trunk lid. Did the seller install a chip or give you a handheld tuner with the car?

there is an SCT badge on it, I dont know if it is tuned I am working on getting all that information from the dealer I bought it from. I plan on keeping it a street car for now. My wife is going a little crazy, she want me to do very little to it right now, since it only has 31,xxx miles on it.. I am at least going to do the Grille Delete, to give the front end a little cleaner look, then look into the rear suspension.

Nice car, looks really clean! Welcome to 4.6! I think a grill delete is a good idea, looks so much cleaner IMO.

Welcome. Nice ride. I also went from a 89 coupe to my 01 Bullitt. But my coupe was cammed and nitrous-fed, which is something i truly miss with my Bullitt. But I do love this car. lol
