I have a 1998 Mustang Gt Aode. I have already added Flowmasters American Thunder cat back, Mac o/r H-pipe, Mac UDPs, BBK Plenum and CAI. I'm looking at getting patriot performances stage 3 heads, typhoon intake, and a good set of cams. I was wondering if this is going to push my tranny, engine, or rear past the breaking point? I will by then also have 3.90 gears put in the rear. Any input would be appreciated.

Nobody can be sure but I would guess that with only those mods that your driveline should hold up pretty well. What kind of cams are you getting? I would say that while you have your motor apart I would add some forged internals and run a supercharger.

you dont have to take apart the whole motor to do cams, if he is getting heads he is going to have cams already in them OR install them before putting the heads back on. it will be a fairly simple headswap rather than a motor rebuild. your car should hold up fine. i would suggest a torque converter with a higher stall.
