New owner of a 2010 GT, looking for opinions/suggestions...

Well I'm the proud owner of a used 2010 Black GT with only about 9k miles. I've never owned a Mustang before and previously only modded a 97 Nissan 200SX SE-R back in the late 90s. Last model with the SR20 I believe....

I'm mainly looking for performance upgrades like intake, exhaust, shocks/struts, springs, sway bars, and eventually a s/c. Any and all suggestions/opinions for mods would be appreciated. Not looking to drag race, rice it out or put body kits on it. I'm mainly looking for more performance from the car so it's even more fun to drive.

Exhaust - Corsa Extreme
Springs - Eibach Pro Kit
Shocks/Struts - Tokico D-Spec
S/C - M90 vs. R2300...looking for suggestions...
Exterior Mod - The only mod I'd consider doing on the exterior is a hood scoop and it's a toss up between putting in a functional or non-functional one...Looking for opinions/suggestions...

Thanks,

Jax

S/C ditch the M-90 and stick with either the RS2300 or the Edelbrock E-Force, the only other choice would be the Whipple H.O. from FRPP.

maybe consider the blower from FRPP that gives you a 1 year warranty

I'm talking to dealers now about getting my 5.0 and my plan is to just throw on all the frpp suspension bits in, get an evo tune/intake and be done with it until the warranty is up then who knows...

I have a friend that runs a speed shop down here in Houston, he said for the 3V motor, the Whipple gets you the best bang for buck. Not sure if he was just trying to sell me one or not, but thats what he said!
