Collective + Mustang Enthusiast Magazine Top 10 4.0 V6 Upgrades
  So, the Collective and Mustang Enthusiast magazine are working on a joint feature for an upcoming issue of ME. It will be based on the following: “Top 10 upgrades for a 4.0 V6 mustang” We wanted to get a thread that hashes out the top 10 upgrades you can do the 4.0 which will include measureable gains. Both on the dyno and on the track. Please note that this is not limited to just drag racing, but handling as well (autox). So you can post measurable gains in dyno, drag racing or autox times. Soooo…… Let’s start with some collaboration here! Following this, if need be, we can do a poll…though with the wealth of knowledge in this place, I’m sure we could hash it out before needing a poll…but you never know. Larry@ME will review this thread, its contents and then begin drafting an article from there. So, members of the Collective…post away…. Cheers! Gary, Todd and the Collective Staff EDIT: I updated this post, and removed the mention on not including FI. Please feel free to include FI, however, please do not let this turn into an FI debate.

Without a doubt, the best upgrade, at least in my opinion, has to be the tuner with tunes. Nothing quite livens up the car and readies it for further mods like that.

My top upgrade would have to be the X-Cal2. I don't have any before and after dyno sheets (I'm sure someone does) but we all know it's a "must-have" mod.
Edit: Damn you Jordan
