I must get me one or 20.
If it's a new Mustang then it would be the 5.0 "Coyote" V8, rated 435 HP and 400 TQ.

Intake/Tune usually net 20HP/30TQ on Coyotes. Throttle body spacers do nothing. The exhaust does nothing but reduce weight but only if it's a cat-back, axle backs do nothing except increase sound.
