Mods for my sixer vert?

[Fighting Sailor]

Hi Y'all,

I've been using an 06 convertable V-6 as a daily driver. Lately I have realised the potential of the 4.0 V-6 and want to explore a few possibilities ( seeing pretty blue v-6's car at the meet was inspiration).
I can't afford to do everything I want at once.... Here's what I'm looking at:
3D Carbon body kit, 3D carbon Light bar, Tungston grey Bullit wheels (18 x 9) JBA headers and dual exhaust, Cold air intake (or possibly a shaker).
What do y'all think? Also what would y'all do first? I would need to do this in $600 to $1,000 increments over the next 2 years. I have a bitchin car in my 07 Shelby so I am not in a big rush.
Thanx,
Steve

I would build the motor before touching the body.

Gear it
Intake
MAF
Headers
Exhaust
Nitrous
Dyno Tune
Then later swap to a supercharger kit or turn it into a Shelby Terlingua

I was also contemplating the Shelby CS6 turn2 kit, which includes all the shelby body components, graphics, suspension, rear end, exhuast, supercharger and wheels. However, at nearly $15,000.....
I want to jazz her up some, but I dont want to go as far as an SC. I intend to pass her on to my son when he's old enough to drive. I also intend to do all the work myself w/ my son so he appreceates it.
Any real super performance mods are destined for my Shelby....

I do agree, intake and exhaust should come 1st, I'm running out to JBA this Saturday.

Man, I wish I had money for Headers and X-pipe, I would go out and get some right away if I did.

I regret now, that my cars are not registered in Texas. if they were I could install long tube headers instead of shorties!

You can install anything you want......just when it is time to smog, put it back stock for the test....

the motors can handle over 400rwhp no problem, the drivetrian is the weak link in the 4.0s.... believe me i know
