you can safely s/c a stock mustang, a lot of the s/c manufacturers test their s/c's on a stock vehicle, and build the s/c kit to work with your stock vehicle.

You wouldnt need to upgrade the cylinder heads until you are getting paid to run the car in a sponsored race...lol.

Get an exhaust for sound before all out performance gains...there isnt much of a difference. LT headers will get you a nice gain though...but are a PITA to install.

shortys dont do much...not really worth it I'd say.

LT's give a decent gain.
