Got my first 4.6 powered Stang!Its a silver 2002 Roush Stage 2,hardtop,5 speed.48,000 miles,picked it up at a local lot,thank god for credit,lol.I dont know shit about 4.6's but gears will be first.Then probably an x-pipe and long tubes.What are the best bang for buck mods on these things anyway?
Will post pics as soon as i figure out how to.

I think gears are the best bang for a buck on almost any car.

How much you pick it up for? A buddy of mine is trying to sell a Black '02 stage 2 with 26k miles in EXCELLENT condition.

Nice car though, and welcome to the 4.6 family!

I got it for 15K.Talked em down from 17K.But its in like-new condition.Dont know what gears it has,havent checked the tag yet.But im sure theyre not 3.90's like i want.By the way,i heard 4.6's like tall gears,should i use 3.90's or 4.10's?Or what?

Best bang for the buck? I would say start with gears. A blower is the best bang for the buck as far as HP mods go.

Long tubes and the mid-pipe are going to set you back about $600-800 w/o installation. Install is supposted to be a PITA!

Here's what I would do in this order:

- gears
- shifter
- catback
- plenum and 75 mm tb
- blower
- custom tune

Also, upgrade the brakes to Cobra spec. This makes a *huge* difference.

I'd do 4.10 gears, full length subframe connectors, plenum and throttle body, shifter, and an o/r x pipe with the stock mufflers/exhaust manifolds.
