what are your goals for the car, what is your budget, do you wanna stay N/A or go F/I?

N/a and F/I means?

Lol.....I would like to do a lil bit to the performance. I pretty much have the look, the sound and the audio. So I would like to make the car run a lil better.

well from what ive researched . is that ford's product are really restrictive and K&n or ebay or any other one would let the air flow much more smoothly . and a CAI add's a low amount of HP too

like he said n/a= naturaly aspirated and f/i= forced induction(super/turbo charger)
a CAI will let your engine breath better, a few mods alone wont make that big of gains, but a bunch together will add up and all work together

I probably can't afford any F/I at the moment I am looking at mods under $500.

Still being a kid, If i told my dad I wanted NOS he would slap me and say "You trying to kill yourself!?"

Thus why pretty much all my mods so far has been exterior and audio. He won't even let me get a v8 lol. He always pulls the "I know how boys are."

I already switched out the plugs and wires,

I guess next on the list is an intake system.

i would say get under drive pulleys and rear end gears with a t-lok. 4.10s for auto and 3.73 with manual. you will see better performance out of those 2 mods then you will with a CAI, but you can get a CAI for cheap on ebay. also its not NOS its NITROUS. NOS is a brand

is that your car in your sig? (looks stock with a flowmaster sticker on it to me)

anywho, start with the basic bolt on modifications:
cold air intake
ring and pinion gears
underdrive pully
then throw in a good tune
