Currently own a 2009 mustang gt with a 4.6 3v with a stage 2 roush supercharger. I put it on the dyno and putting 547 to the rear wheels. Car has 108000 miles. Fixing to do some maintenance on it and need input. Looking to tune it up and do a pa c4 auto trans swap on it. It is currently a tremec 5 speed car. What plugs and coils do yall recommend? Thanks in advance.
Sounds Like the Car Has Been Modded Quite a Bit. 547 to the Rear Wheels would Require Some Beefed Internals on a 4.6L. If You Don't Know The History on the Car it Will be Hit & Miss Working on it. I would Try & Find Original Owner & Get The Rundown on Mods & How Car Was Maintained. Also Who Tuned and or Did The Mods? I had a Roushcharged GT/CS Back in 07 and it was 427 Hp.
Why The Auto Swap? Is This Going to be a Daily Driver or a Drag Car Etc??
Lets See an Engine Pic!

Welcome to TMS! Nice Car! Great Color too. Sounds like someone put some big time money and work into making that car a beast. Congrats on the find. KC is spot on, be careful what you do and know the car before you do work on and/or change on the car. Enjoy!
I picked it up from a carlot here in Tennessee. I reckon the best way to find previous owner would be a carfax right? I have never thought about finding previous owner. Here was dyno sheet from revolution performance.
Carfax will not tell you who was the prior owner, only where and when it was registered and serviced. Dealers won't tell you who was the prior owner due to "privacy concerns." The only practical way I know to find out who was the prior owner, is to ask the Dealer to give them your contact information and ask them to contact you; then hope that the dealer is wiilling to do that and, that they do contact you. You could also try posting on all the Mustang boards, "looking for prior owner."
At 100K+ miles it is probably due for the cam chains/guides service, to avoid potential catastrophic failure.

Exactly Why you Need That Prior Owner Info. May or May Not Have Service Done as Bert Described Etc. If That Car was Traded in at the Chrysler Dealer Shown in Pics the Fact That you Just Bought it From them Should Make Them Friendly to Help Out! All it Requires is a Friendly Call From Dealer Sales Department to Prior Owner Asking if they Would Mind Filling you in on Vehicle History! If you get Pushback go up the Ladder to the Dealer Owner.

That's providing of course the prior owner reaches out to contact you if and after the Dealership contacts the previous owner to request contacting you in regard to providing the vehicle history information that your requesting...

I've done that several times. Couple times I ended up getting in contact with the previous owner. Didn't work the last time though. Knew my 11 500 was local, had seen it around, thought about trying to buy it back a couple years later, never heard from them.
