I used "Mustang" in the title rather than GT500 because some of these things are not specific to the GT500.

I will post several articles/info in here that I've accumulated. Where possible I'll put links, but sometimes I'll just have to type a brief summary of the article. I have the original magazines, but it's a hassle to scan and post the pics for all of these.

First one coming in 10 minutes or so....

How about Kooks headers for the GT500?

Uses 304 Stainless, 1 3/4 x 3 inche headers interchangeable with stock exhaust. Available catted and off-road. Requires O2 sensor extensions (included). Dyno results show 25-30 HP gains, 24-32 lb*ft of torque.

Article about Galpin Auto Sports making a Boss 302. They are using a 302 ci crate motor with 390 HP and a Tremec 6-speed. Also equipped with a 4.56 rear end (wow, that's steep). The article is very lengthy, but there are pictures of the blue car with the "shaker" hood...neat.

This one might not fit a GT500...I think it's for "other" Mustangs...but check it out...

I wonder if these wheels would fit the GT500. The 180 series comes in an 18 x 10" variety. It has a 30mm offset, so I'm not sure how that compares with our stock wheels. I know, I know ...it's chrome...but hey..at least it's 10" wide.

Ford racing parts sells a c-clip eliminator kit for the 8.8" rear end if you think you're at risk of breaking the clips.

Where's the article? I don't see anything...

It's in a magazine. If you are interested, it's in Mustang Enthusiast, July 2007. Does that help?

Maybe you just post it here and put some details bout that.Much better if you have latest Ford car parts and Mustang information to share with. It can help others here too.

I don't understand.

I know most of us ordered the interior upgrade package, so new pedals are not likely in order...but if you either didn't get the upgrade, or would like a nicer dead pedal, check out this site.

Direct quote from a magazine...

"For the GT500, Spec has come to the rescue with its Stage III multi-disc clutch for street/strip duty. It's designed to offer smooth, quiet driveability for a stock feel. It also features a CNC processed friction plate and a load increase of 35% over stock. SPEC says the dampened, full-faced carbon discs produce a smooth, progressive engagement, despite the clutch's high-torque capacity. "

Here is an 18 x 10" wheel from Roush. Not sure if the offset is correct for our car at 41mm, but it's worth a shot if you like chrome.

Edit: and if you think that's expensive at $408/wheel, then I won't tell you about the one I didn't post that was $714/wheel.

Bill, I know at one time you were looking for some special brake components...not sure what they were. There is a company I'd never heard of...saw them in a magazine. Check it out.

Ok, well this doesn't interest me...but to each her own.

Nice you took the time for all these Dave.

I have these headers on my Shelby.I think everyone should try putting a set of these on.

Thanks Fred, I have more to come. Terry had a wreck in her car last night, but luckily she was not hurt. She was in the right lane of a 4-lane street (2 lanes each direction), and the guy to her left decides to turn RIGHT onto a street without looking in his mirror...he didn't even see her. THe front fascia is torn up as is the grill, but no injuries. The car is driveable other than the fascia nearly dragging the ground. She was shaken up by it.

Also, I awoke at 3 AM to some bad sounds. Terry is now at home curled up on the bathroom floor with severe flu-like symptoms.

I'll get more info posted when I can, it's been a rough night.

Hope she's feeling better soon and glad she wasn't hurt in the collision.
