i have to disagree with the guys that say a sixer with an exhaust sounds like ass. it just depends on what ppl do. i've gotten a lot of compliments on how my car sounds, and always get asked if its a GT... a stock GT though, lol. i did a dual exhaust adaptor with H-pipe and magnaflow catbacks, and kept the stock exhaust. it sounds great, even in higher rpms, although the highest i ever revved it was about 4000, lol.
as for your question on how to compete with GTs, thats actually my current project. in a few weeks i'm swapping out my 7.5 rear for an 8.8 from a GT with 3.73s, an underdrive pulley, a chip with an 87 and 93 tune, and front GT brakes. by my i'll also be upgrading the clutch and flywheel, and possibly the transmission.
sometime this summer i'm doing HCI, with the split port swap and another tune, probably going to upgrade to forged internals 42# injectors and a 310 focus svt fuel pump (in preparation of going FI). however before doing the Heads Cam and Intake, i'll have to decide if i want to keep the engine 3.8L, or stroke and bore it to a 4.2L. I've been doing some reading from it, and ppl seem to have had some good results on it.
if you aren't already, register on 3.8mustang.com Guys there know what they are talking about, however they are big on searches, so don't just post a question... i did that a couple of times and my threads got locked down like a nun's p**sy.
