Probably headers, smaller pulley, and tune. If you put on a Whipple you're looking at 700-800rwhp.

Enjoy in good health mate, it's an amazing machine. Get the headers and you're all set. It'll be LOUD though !

Also don't forget you have no traction control!

^^^ What he said. Get M-9430-GTX Ford Racing Headers. Best sound you'll ever hear in your life is a FGT + 9430's @ WOT.

The 620whp is an estimate from Shelby and an extrapolation from other guys who have the same setup: heffner 2.7" pully, tune, Ford Racing exhaust.. No headers on mine. Actual WHP could be a bit lower or higher. I'll get her dyno'd one of these days so I'm not B.S.in

Eric and I were both sniffing around a Whipple/QS car last year. Fine for Mr. Horsepower, but I prefer/need a stepped approach to more HP. Maybe after next season.

The X5 is my 'rain/dry winter' car This year, the Rubicon will be the serious snow machine.

Thanks brother.. I've got to get the FGT home and take some Carson at 12 weeks pics.

Thanks.. I'm going to leave her alone for now. Totally remember she's got no nannies.. I'm driving her very cautiously. Thanks for the reminder.
