The new Mustang is an amazing piece of machinery. Ford has done an excellent job to refine the legendary Mustang. With 412 HP and 6 speed transmission, the car is capable of running 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Many would be happy with the way it is, the beauty relies in the car ability of even better performance. Basic mods will get the car up and running with the big boys in the Chevrolet and Dodge clans.
Many tuners start with programming the car. This is the most effective modification that you can do to your Mustang. SCT is the leader in this field with no competition what so ever. Their pre-set tune was able to extract 28hp and 34ft-lb from the automatic 5.0, 32hp and 31ft-lb from the six speed manual transmission. These figures are from an off the shelf tuner worth $379!. With such increase in power, the 5.0 Mustang will, in no doubt, be able to run 0 - 60 in less than 5 seconds. The increase in performance from SCT Flasher will also result in better MPG. 1 to 2 MPG is a typical increment from an SCT tune.
Cold Air Intakes (CAI) are the next logical step in the progress of upgrading a Mustang. Many leading brands are available for the 5.0 Mustang, all with good results. Seems like Steeda has led the way in CAI for the late model Mustangs. It is a combination of performance, quality and look. Independent tests for Steeda CAI on the 5.0 Mustang have shown an increase of 12hp and 10ft-lb. A great result from a $370 mod, plus added deep sound and nice look under the hood. Now your Mustang should be running low 12's in the quarter mile.
The third modification involve the exhaust system. Some enthusiasts go for a cat-back upgrade, and some go for the headers and mid-pipes. Rarely do people go for full exhaust at this stage in one go, for costs reasons. A quality cat-back will be in the range of $850, an x-pipe is usually $500, long tube headers are close to $1,000. Personally I often go for headers and x-pipe. I believe it is where the power come from, plus I am not very keen on loud exhausts, which is commonly the case with aftermarket mufflers. Independent tests for Stainless Works exhaust show good dyne numbers from the full exhaust set, around 25hp increase, and not much improvement in torque, but usually around 5ft-lb.
Well, these are the basics in upgrading your amazing 5.0 Mustang. The car should be making close to 500 hp at the flywheel and capable of running low 12's to high 11's in the quarter mile. I hope this article gives you an insight of the recommended parts and brands by the Mustang community.

Gto (Paperback) $56.06 In 1963 Pontiac`s Chief Engineer John DeLorean and his two favorite staff engineers, Bill Collins and Russ Gee, came up with an inspired way to keep Pontiac cars in the performance limelight:  bolt a big engine into Pontiac`s upcoming Tempest intermediate body.  Thus was the GTO born. Through cunning, resourcefulness, and outright trickery the minds of Pontiac managed to get this rocket into dealerships and out onto America`s highways, and to introduce that most iconic of American automobiles, the muscle car, to the nation’s most discriminating drivers.   This is the story of the GTO, of the people who made it a reality and a sales sensation, of those who owned and loved the cars.  And it is, above all, a story of the cars themselves, from the initial option package offered for the 1964 model year through the high-performance late-model standouts.  With color photographs, drawings, and detailed stats, this book is not so much the story of a historic car as an illustrated biography of American muscle. |
