Well I have my 4.10s, chin spoiler on the way, shifter next month. After that I am unsure but here is my list but not in any order...

Pulleys - I have heard of problems at idle
CAI - I heard that 4.6 run better when cool
Timing adjuster - do you have to run premium gas
Throttle Body - any real gains on a stock motor?
Subframe connectors
Pinion snubber - DO these help you launch

I can't afford the PI heads and intake for some time yet, so no need to mention it.

I say C&L mass air but a cold air intake is okay.

Pulleys - I have heard of problems at idle -- seem to be a good mod, but I talked to the guys at one of our local shops and they said they saw a max gain of 5 hp from them.

CAI - I heard that 4.6 run better when cool -- get the K & N filter and cut your airbox yourself

Timing adjuster - do you have to run premium gas -- not california legal but ya you gotta run premium

Throttle Body - any real gains on a stock motor? -- will help out a bit but not worth it unless you're supercharging the car

Subframe connectors -- DO IT! ASAP you'll feel how much stiffer the car gets

Pinion snubber - DO these help you launch -- wish i knew wtf these were.

those are just my opinions btw...

you might wanna look into control arms too they'll help you plant your tires better.

stiffen up the whole car to reduce flexibility resulting a better/stiffer ride I would presume..
