Power with control is useless. 500+ HP isn't any good from a stop if all you will do is spin. Get the Suspension/Braking right, then build the 4.6. On my 2001 Bullitt, I could outdrive folks with more power because they couldn't put it to the ground, or didn't have the suspension to go deep into the curves. The S197 is good, but can use some finesse as well.

I agree about handling and stopping first. I'm going the same route and its been tough putting mods into the car that don't bump the HP. But all the power in the world is no good if you can't control it. You really don't want your last words after installing FI to be,"Whatch this!!!"

i know what you guys are talking about. After lowering the car with the eibach sportline kit and BMR Panhard bar. The car handles better and delivers the power to the ground well.

I'm still on the fence about what to do next but i'm pretty sure i'm gonna finish off the suspension then go to the brakes and finish off with power
