Just a little background on the car to start... I purchased the car from an ex's brother back in 2013. He had gotten the car from an older woman who had actually won the car in a raffle years ago and hadn't been driving it regularly for a couple years. My ex's brother being the second owner of the car with the miles only at 80K. He had owned the car for only half a year and found a 5.0 he was interested in and I had told him I was interested and we ended up working out a deal and the car was mine. I had sold my Jeep Cherokee and Picked up a ranger to drive around during the winter. I had been interested in owning this type of car for awhile I've always been interested in muscle cars ever since I can remember, my uncle restores mopar and has rubbed off on me like white on rice always taking me out in whatever he was working on and showing me the ropes along the way. I have to credit him for the gearhead in me.

When I first got the car I did not know too much about the 4.6L motor, I had mainly bought the car because of the mileage and the fact that the car had only two previous owners. Over the last couple years the car has been through a couple different looks along with many modifications.
First thing first I had to tint the windows and get a new set of shoes. I also added an X-Pipe to Flowmaster 40s and no CATS.
Following those few small upgrades I stored the car away for the winter. In the 2013-2014 winter I had only made one modification, I added a hurst shifter with pistol grip.
When April of 2014 rolled around I had decided to go with a different set of rims and tires. I purchased 18" Replica Torque Thrust 3" Deep Dish rims wrapped in Nitto NT555 285/35/18 Rear Tires, Nankang Nobel Sport 255/35/18 Front Tires. Added the saleen spoiler and quarter window louvers along with blacking out the tail lights and adding a ford third brake light cover. I also replaced brake calipers and rotors with slotted and drilled rotors with ford pre painted red calipers, new headlights with led bulbs. Along with a few cosmetic upgrades I also added SK cold air intake, SCT Tuner, MSD coils, march under drive pulley kit, bbk strut tower brace, upper and lower rear control arms, gabriel quad shocks I also replaced the old pioneer radio for a jvc with an aux, replaced the DIN with a silver ford emblem plate.
End of summer of 2014 I knew I wanted more which started the PI plan. I had researched the internet for some ideas on what to do for the biggest gains I also knew I wanted to swap to 3.73 gears.
