Hey, just got a new 05 V6. I really wanted the GT, but couldn't afford it (bought my V6 for $18000). Anyway, I am looking to upgrade the power (obviously it needs many upgrades).

Please advise me on what upgrades I should make first, and what mods will help me gain most hp.

Thanks.

CAI or K&N air filter
Dual Exhausts
XCalibur tuner (get a custom dyno tune once you get the tuner)
4.10 gears and the trak-loc (positraction)
A good shot of N2O never hurt either :)

headers and duals... or, at least a more free flowing muffler... Ford stuffed up the exhaust on the 4.0L

Get the JBA exhaust and a rear GT valance.

Air intake is a must too.

I've got the jba duals on the way... just having the bumber cut... I think it's a cleaner look compared to the GT rear valance.
