if it's 5 spd get a Pro 5.0 shifter: work on the suspension, remember a better hook = faster, nice stereo or seat upgrades are good to have: tires/rims: body package, brake package...what kinda budget do you have?

Exhaust is your best bet man. It will help it flow a little better and you'll get a more aggressive sound out of it, closer to that of a GT. By the way man, it might be worth it to just go with appearance type of stuff. Without voiding the warranty theres not a whole lot of stuff you can do which is going to make it quicker. The exhaust is only going to bump it up maybe 10hp. I know Ford can install factory superchargers however that would be closer 5-6k.

i agree with the appearance addons , i started adding the chrome underhood accessaries to my 2010 V6 and it woke up the looks under the hood . alot of the 05-09 caps will fit for the 4.0, but the windshield wiper fluid cap will not fit . ditch the prop rod and get polished hood lift kit , has to be 2010 specific to work . there is alot out so far if you research what will work from the 05-09 's . only a few things i found so far will not .

Talking Cold Air Intake

Glad I found this thread just getting started. I was hoping there might be some other V6'ers out there like myself

Im just getting started with my 2010 Mustang 2 days 100miles.

So far I have installed the locking lugs & gas locking clip.

Here are the part #'s thanks to others here on this forum.

Locking Lugs: F2LY-1A043-A
locking gas clip: 8U5Z-9C268-B

So you like that Cold Air Intake. Sure does look nice I was looking on the web at the:

MMR Stage 2 Cold Air Intake 2010 V6 with chrome throttle body pipe. I can afford to spend a little more on this Mod can anyone chime in save me some time looking? Looking for best quality, performance and chrome etc...

Will keep catching up here lots of reading to do.

Thanks

Default Strut Tower Brace

Well I havnt decided yet on the CAI but you talked about the Strut Tower Brace. Still a newbie to all this never heard of any these parts so I googled them and found the Ford Racing Part its silver gray powder finish will match my paint job nicely.

SO Im going with the Ford Racing part here is the #.

2005-2010 MUSTANG V6 STRUT TOWER BRACE: M-20201-F

http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9967

I also found these 2010 Ford Mustang shock tower covers. The order process lets me pick them in the exact Ford color sterling gray. Also lets me pick V6 4.0 with Ford Racing Strut Tower Brace notches.

2010 Mustang MAG Painted Shock Tower Covers

I know I want those 2 mods now just trying to find the best online deal.

Default strut tower brace

ya dude i would definitly get the strut tower brace it tightens up the front alot and gives a good styl under the hood i got mine off american muscle it has the shelby emblem on it i highly recomend that one if you get one especially since it bolts on to all 4 bolts on each tower much much more sturdy

HMM the Ford Racing STB I want is only 2 bolts maybe you are on to something.

I think I will go with that 4 bolt version and really would like to add more silver or chrome under the hood.

Thanks
