    I would keep the upper 2.71 pulley alone and just run a 15% lower. The gains typically aren't worth it and you'll be past the recommended limits of 93 octane.

    You hit the nail on the head for the car mod wise though.

    Cobra Jet Throttle Body (Either mono blade or dual 65), JLT 123/127 Intake (you won't need the 150mm until you go past 800rwhp)

    Also you maybe maxing out the stock 59lb injectors once you get into the 700s. I'd just bite the bullet and buy some ID1000s.

    Another mod I'd do before anything else though is a good dual pass heat exchanger with fans and a larger fluid reservoir.

    Only the 10% pulley will fit with the track pack.

    The 13-14 heat exchanger is suppose to be way more effecient than previous years.

    Stock pulley is 2.5" so I was gonna do a 2.3996 and the 10% lower.

    Probably looking at this kit here with the 3" offroad X-pipe:

    Stock heat exchanger is better than previous years, but still is not very good and doesn't hold a candle to the AFCO or C&R. You will notice the car being down on power due to heat soak, the heat exchanger imo is the best first mod. After that a good set of rear lower control arms, you'll need em :D

    Stock pulley is a 2.71" (69mm) not 2.5"

    That is a great power pack from lethal, only down side is, if you want to go to headers for more power/sound, you'll need to ditch the x pipe. The stock exhaust manifolds are very very restrictive. Granted they did redesign them in 2013, they still are not as good as a set of headers. If 750 is your goal, you'll need them, if low 700s is your goal, then you can't go wrong with the link above.

    I looked around some and couldnt find any aftermarket heat exchangers for the 13-14's.

    07-14, uses the same heat exchanger, they are all inter-changeable.

    The AFCO 11" Dual Pass with Fans, and the Shelby C&R with fans both out perform the stock 13-14 HE by a large margin.

    Ok, cool! I'll look into that......Thanks!

    First few mods will be very subtle....

    Windown tint
    Bobs or JLT Seperator
    Bobs LED foglights
    MGW shifter
    Redline hood struts
    Lloyds GT500 floor mats
    Jaeger brothers front & rear stone gaurds

    Just some small things until I get some miles on the car and then the real modding begins!

    buy bobs or Moroso seperator for passenger only. I have a jlt and do not like it. If you want it you can have it half off.

    Ok, great! Thanks guys!
    Any other good GT500 forums besides SVT Performance and Fordgt500.com or teamshelby?

    Or any other tidbits I should know about these cars that may not be on the forums?

    S197forum.com but that is more general towards the platform, but regardless still a good community. SVTPerformance doesn't seem to dive into the tech much.
