Hey everyone. My name is Rick and I'm new to the boards. I have a 06' GT in Tungsten Grey and previously owned a 99' Cobra.

Anyway, I'm sure everyone asks this, but what are the best "Bolt-On" upgrades I can make for my 06'?
I current have Eibach Pro-Kit and BBK Cold Air (no tune), but need more power

I was wondering what I can really expect to gain from Bolt-On mods. I mean they all claim 20-30 HP results which I know is not realistic.
I want "bang for the buck" but that doesn't mean I won't pay for results.

One thing to consider in your responses is that I would rather not void my Warranty so if you would, please let me know if using your advice will void me.

Thanks!

-Rick

Thanks Sharad for the link. I'm still not sure what I can realistically expect to gain from any of this.
Let me ask it this way. What would I need to do to get my car to between 350 - 375 BHP? Is that even realistic with bolt-ons?
Can I make the power to get my car from 0-60 in let's say, 4.5 seconds without changing gears?
How much power can expect to get from adding a -
Tuner?
Throttle Body?
MAF?
Cat-Back?
Complete Exhaust including Header, X-Pipe, Cat Back?
Pulleys?

Will doing all of this work create real HP and Torque gains and will it void my warranty?

Thanks!

I think you can get all of the parts you listed from FRPP and if you get them installed at Ford, it actually extends the warranty, I believe. I think you could get to 350rwhp with all of that stuff. I know you can find the actual numbers by searching the tech articles on this website. Regardless, the FRPP supercharger would surpass those numbers and maintain the warranty.
