exhaust, heads, pullies, t/a

if you just bought it, and its stock, i really recommend getting some springs on that as fast as you can

Most folks want to start with a little horse power and some decent sound. Cat-backs will deliver that! If you have more cash to burn then do the whole exhaust! If you are looking to be able to take off faster then you should look at gears. Are we talking a stick or automatic? Do you plan on staying N/A or are you thinking supercharger down the road?

Lots of ways to add power, that is the great part of having a stang!

You definately want to look into getting the PI heads. They are a big improvement compared to the older ones.

Check the classifieds on here or corral.net. My friend picked up a set off of Ebay a few months ago.

Pull the motor out and get a 4v in there. It will cost the just as much money as doing all the things people have listed. That is just my 2 cents on things.
