Reason: messed up
i guess it depends on how much $$ you want to spend lol. nitrous is an option, but i'm too scared to run it on my car. you could spend 2 grand on a nice h/c/i setup but then you'll need a tune. you could get on ebay and buy some gt40 heads and intake and get a nice cam to go with it. or go to a jukyard and get the heads and intake etc. off of a 5.0L explorer since they are identical to a 5.0L cobra. i have found some good deals on superchargers on ebay too i'm done rambling now...

Nice looking car, I wouldn't focus on outrunning one car. You will end up spending a ton of money. Come up with a plan and do the best you can within your time and means.
