Add to that an oil cooler (MUST HAVE ITEM), electronic boost controller and some aftermarket gauges.

If you have additional money to spare, FAT tires.

Also need test pipes and or high flow cats. If you need cats get a exhaust set up where you can add cats after the test pipes. Your cats will last a lot longer that way!

Real quick though. A lot of power mod suggestions, but this car won't handle that power well without an improved suspension and our brakes can use some improving.

Suspension
Sways_SPL linkage system_KW V3 clubsport/Robispec'd or Swift sprigs on Koni yellow or JIC Magic FLT-2, Or StanceGR+ to make a truly good suspension and 3 budget options.

Stoptech sport brake upgrade kit & Stillen brake cooling kit
Z1 brake upgrade. (aesthetically, my personal preference is StopTech)

Lighter weight wheel package (volks)
More aggressive tires... Michelin pss or Bridgestone RE-11.

Welcome to the forum, I've always loved Mustangs and since I was a kid have wanted one, one day I probably will have one some day.
That being said I also have always wanted a Z just as much (my first car was a Datsun).

I there are two main reasons I chose my Z, and it has nothing to do with which is faster, because they are both blazing lay fast cars.

For me it was about styling and handling, and also about how many are out thre on the road. The other day I had a nice Mustang pull up next to me and I looked over and thought it was a pretty nice car, but then I looked in my rear view and saw another one, and then another one in the oncoming lanes across the intersection. Maybe that's a testament to the cars popularity, but I've always enjoyed being sort of in the minority, but knowing what's best.

I've always been that way (i.e. I've been a Mac computer user since 1990, back when they were at their lowest, but I always felt they, we're better, sleeker and a better design.

Again welcome to the Z
