I'll agree with you in regards to previous generations, but the current generation is fairly aftermarket friendly. There might not be a whole lot out there (when compared to the V8), but that's because this engine doesn't need a whole lot to perform.

Take this Mustang for example. It'll run 10's all day long, and nothing too major has been done to it. The build recipe is actually very simple: ProCharger D1 centrifugal supercharger, long-tube headers, 4.10 gears, 80 lb/hr fuel injectors, Circle D torque converter with 3,000 rpm stall, and 295/55-15 Mickey Thompson ET street radials in the rear.
