I'm also picking up a pair of rear wheels for some sticky drag tires.
Ah yeah. When I did upper/lowers on my 5.0, it made a world of difference. I would have thought that on the new 5.0's they had gotten it right by now, though. Does Ford Racing make a set, who's are you going with?

*When I worked for Ford, we thrashed a 2005 GT 5-speed. It would blow the tires off hitting 2nd gear. IIRC, those were PZero's on there as well, albeit something stupid like 235's, lol. Still, 100whp more needs more than just 20mm more tire.
