What kind of inexpensive power increases are availiable?
I have recently bought an 83 5.0 liter V8 Mustang and previously worked on old Datsun cars so I don't really know what is available for power increases in a Mustang. I an a student so I don't have much money, but I have head about superchargers and turbo's and stuff like that an I am just wondering what kinds of things would be good to consider?

You show me a dyno that will show 10-15hp from pullys.
Make an x-pipe, or H if you want to stay legal? are you trying to imply that x-pipes are illegal? what exactly about an x-pipe is illegal, aside from the obvious offroad variations, that also come with H-pipes?
msd coil? worthless addition to a completely stock engine.
