Yeah mine hates me for not letting her drive it!! 3g's woooooooow..........well first would have to be a PI head swap, then full exhaust, followed shortly by gears(3.73 or 4.10's), tri-ax shifter, CAI and throttle body, and some suspension upgrades, i.e. some springs to drop that bad bay about an inch or so.....If you have and money left get yourself a good set of drag radials for all your new found power!!!

I would say that first thing you should do is decide what kind of power you are looking for? PI Headswap is a great bang for the buck mod. Gears kick ass too! If its a 5spd go with 4.10 gear. I just ordered mine yesterday and can't wait for them to show. Longtubes, midpipe and a catback will give a mean sound to the stang and some nice power also. There are a lot of options when it comes to performance.
