warranty friendly,

Factory Tech Valve body (very very very hard to tell it is aftermarket)

Air intake system (easily removed)

Cat back (won't effect warranty)

Traction bars (won't effect warranty)

Getting a chip will void warranty, wait for diablo predator! (2 more weeks)

I'd say lower pulley, but you need a chip and dyno tune and that could eat all of $1000.
Kinda hard to change when going in for warranty work

I don't think you'll see a $1000.00 cashiers check anytime soon. I do wince to think of the things you will be receiving in the mail though.

Oh you want idea's

OK

Diablo Predator $419.00
usahooters@fastndelirious.com

JLP Forced Air Induction $285.00 http://www.johnnylightningperf.com/n...sp?intProdID=2

JLP Upper Pulley Kit $165.00
http://www.johnnylightningperf.com/n...p?intProdID=62

All of the above can be taken off and put back to stock
in no time at all. Ford Will never know it was touched.
And you will still have a wrrnty.
On a cool day with slicks, you'll kiss 12's

Personally I'd go for a 4lb-6lb lower, but Ford would know
you messed with that if you ever had to put it back to stock

Predator Details
The DiabloSport Predator programmer provides high performance flash tuning and OBD-II diagnostics capabilities in one module. Designed for the 99 to current Ford & GM vehicles (Application List). The Diablo Predator is a tunable performance module, which utilizes flash technology to reprogram the original ECU chip for optimum performance and derivability. The Diablo Predator gives the user ability to adjust selected parameters to suit their own applications and needs. The Predator will also include diagnostic features, such as the ability to read fault codes and erase them, as well as live data from your vehicle's sensors; this technology was also borrowed from our OBD-II tool, the Hellion.
