Default just a newbie with a 5.0



I've just posted in the newbie area, and I'm new at this....I just bought myself a 83, 5 spd, 5.0, convertible. It is all original, and in good shape. It needs a paint job, and work under the hood. Right now I am looking at a saleen package, as well as a ram air hood, &amp;boom tubes. ( I hope I have this all right, this car stuff is a new passion for this Canadian gal.) So If anyone can help make suggestions to how I can makemy newtoy kick some major a--, do tell!!</P>

If you want it to kick some serious butt without investing a lot of $$ throw a small shot of juice on it.
