High-performance '94-'04 Mustangs represent the high-water mark for late- model Mustang enthusiasts. From the '94-'95s with the 5.0L, through the '96-'04 models with the 2- and 4-valve 4.6Ls, to the Bullitt, Mach 1, and factory supercharged '03-'04 Cobras—never before has such a range of highly modifiable performance cars been available. These Mustangs were amazing performers straight from the factory, but they can be even better with the right combination of performance parts.

Regardless of which '94-'04 Mustang you start with, the availability of high-performance parts is unparalleled. You can build your Mustang for drag racing, road racing, or improved street performance—and High- Performance Mustang Builder's Guide 1994-2004 will show you how!

Author Sean Hyland uses over 300 photos to explain how to upgrade your Mustang's engine, suspension, chassis, transmission, rear end, brakes, and body. There's even a special chapter on getting active in various forms of organized racing.
