Pre-Supercharger Mods?

I have a bone stock 05 GT with just lowering springs for "performance" mods. The rest of my mods are all show. Now that I'm pretty satisfied with how the car looks I'm going to work on the "GO" aspect of the Mustang

So far I'm working on Rotorpro rotors(for show), centri posi quite pads, SS brake lines, DOT 4 brake fluid, MGW Shifter, K&N CAI(no tune, for now). Should have all these by the new year.

I know I can have all the power in the world but if my car can't hook theres no point in all the big numbers. My plans are to go with a Whipple I/C system in a year or so, depending on how fast the money comes in. So heres where you all come in ... What do you have for me as next steps?

I'd hold off on the gears. I have 4.10's with my Whipple kit and I'm switching back to 3.55's next week. If I were at he track constantly it would be different, but for street driving the 3.55's are the ticket with a Whipple. The torque down low is just too much for 4.10's. It's ridiculous with street rubber..

That's what I thought also.
Now that I have the 3.55's back in the car I wish I would have installed another set of 4.10's.
Next time I change gears I'd like it to be on a Currie 9".

I agree with the gears. 4.10's will probably be to low. I'd recommend long tube headers and an h-pipe.
