My first 4.6, gotta 35th anny, need addy advice!

At this point, lets just assume it's bone stock. 58k miles. The rear whines a little, as so it does in my capri also, so that I dont care about just more reason to do gears soon.

Anyways, I'm looking for advice. How to make this car run it's best with a 2k budget. Now, not including, I already orderd the magnapac for it, here's a link you can scroll down to see how it sounds on each car, it's a cool website, hear before you buy Here's the link
http://www.magnaflow.com/04sound/04american.asp

Also I ordered the Roush cold air intake system,( http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/rsp-sm01-8k100-a_cp.jpg ) and that's all. Otherwise, i'm assuming it's stock. I was told it has cams and head work, but, after taking it to my buddies shop he's saying no the heads have never even been off the car.

I'm completly new to the 4.6, and to ohc. I've owned nothing but fox stangs so far, this is my first sn95.

So yeah, 2000$, is what I have left to spend, what should I do to make her run? I'm open to all idea's except that I will only run n/a, I dont use turbo/superchargers or NOS. Not on any of my cars. I'm all motor, all the time.

Thanks in advance for any advice. Btw, she runs great, no problems at all.

P.S. I care more about reliability than I do performance, keep in mind

Again thanks to all for any advice, you're infinite wisdom had better get me into the 13's!!!

Dont fear the gear 4.30's are awesome

Short throw shifter, go MGW, its awesome, best mod ever

long tube headers, off road x, catback (BBK LT's, VRS offroad X or H, whatever catback you choose)

That should put you around 2g's, including install costs.

Maybe add in some springs, if you want some looks thrown in with your performance.
