Default Hot rod 4.7

Should I find one for cheap for my ol d-100, I was just wondering what you can do to the 4.7? Is there any kind of aftermarket support for these engines yet?
BTW, I spend most of my time over in the SRT-4 section, but I'd thought I'd ask you experts for info on this issue.
Thanks.

the 4.7 has limited mods. Intake, exhaust, jet chip (if you wanna waste yr money), headers, not much else.

They actually have a supercharger for the 4.7 if you want to spend money on it.

well its not only things for under the hood, gear for the rear can give you alot of 'git up and go. aluminum drive shaft, throttle body, i'm not sure if they've made a performance cam yet for the 4.7...do a search and you'll get plenty of hits for "4.7 engine mods"

dude, get yourself some factory 3.92's with the limited slip...have no idea how much of a difference that will make and it wont hurt your mileage
