better brakes

stock brakes on the stangs' are shit

>Borla Atak axelback exhaust
Those atak exhausts are loud as fuck. My dad had one on his c5 and could wake the entire neighborhood at night. I assume the mustang version is just as loud?

5.0 started in 2011. 2010 got a face lift but like he said
Still had shitty ass 4.6.

should've just saved for a nicer one dumbass.

4.10 gears. I got them in my 13 5.0 and it fucking launches something fierce.

4.10s are gonna be a bit loud on the highway. What I realized OP doesn't have is a short shifter. Fantastic addition to any car.

I had forgotten the 2010s don't have the 6 speed transmission. Short shifter is the way to go.

Posting from experience here, I'd do gears or cams.

I got 4.10s with a t45 in my GT and it really sucks for mileage. But it has a .67 5th. Your Tremec t-3650 has a .62 5th (significantly longer for an OD gear). I know the earlier ones, like 2005 3Vs got 3.55s stock, but didnt they get 3.31s afterwards?

What I'm saying is, if you can afford a drop or 2 of MPG, and don't drive too much over 55, 3.73s would be nice. Your sumis are probably gonna need to be on 9's or 10s (instead of factory 8 inch wide wheels) to hook good with 3:73 or 4.10.

Ring and pinion gears are pretty cheap imo, plus its a good time to do all rear end bearings if you're well over 100k. Also a Diff brace if you're gonna get 4.10s and launch like a madman. And its a good time to go aluminum driveshaft, I know im afraid to wind 5th now because i dont want it to come slinging through the floor and RIP me (known driveshaft imbalance)

Next, I'd get cams and raise your rev limiter to ~6500. Why? Because your heads flow like a DOHC, at least on the intake side, but you only have to buy 2 cams instead of 4. (Main reason why i havent cammed my kb cobra, it costs 1200 for 4 cams). And props on your mod choices, you should be dynoing 300 or more rwhp?

If you road race, some 13 or 14 inch rotors and brembo pistons will really help with feel and take a hell of a lot longer to warp. I know the last time I raced a 05 gt, I pushed it to understeer and oversteer on sticky tires. Had no complaints other than it took like 20 seconds to feel the rotors warping because I was racing on a VERY curvy road.

I noticed you havent done shocks as well. Most people think springs are going to give them that race car handling feel, but imho you want shocks. I recommend Bilstein monotubes for good longevity, or even QA1s. They cost 110 a piece, but have a ton of different valving settings for compression and rebound. Also get the kind that come ready for coilovers if you choose to go that route later.

At that point, you should consider selling it and getting a faster car instead.
