You will get even better results. Also, consider changing out the rearend gears. At that point you will have a distinct advantage over the V6 Mustang if it is stock.
As for the brakes, those that have made the switch to Brembos (you can probably pick them up cheap on this site) have liked them. You have to be careful about wheel size though -- I don't think they fit if you have the 18s (someone else chime in here).

I've got the 20's so no problem, but you are right the 18"s will not fit over the Brembo's, but has any one tried the CSTV brakes on the V6. The Brembo's might be good to keep down fade.
I've the Injen CAI that when I get some time I've yet to get it on the car (we're having Niece problems)
