Default 1st Mustang and loving it and in need of some help!

Hi! I am brand new to the Mustang arena. I just got a 92 GT 5.0 with 164k and manual transmission. So far I have changed the wires, plugs, distributor, rotary button, oil, filter, fuel filter and the TP sensor. I would like to supplement my car with a few upgrades (bolt-ons). From what I can tell, it is completely stock. I am looking at new headers, exhaust, cold air intake, under pulleys, maybe a new intake, throttle body, fuel injectors and 3.55 0r 3.73 gears. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have read some of the upgrades and seen those from the Bad Boys Sections and it seems it is personal preference. Do the vendors posted offer any type of Military discount?

Upon starting the car and while idling, the RPM drops about 400 and the battery will discharge at the same time. I replaced the TP sensor, but all I did was take one off and put another one on. Any suggestions?

What type of battery should I use? (Optima?)

Thanks in advance for any help. Billy

It takes a little time to learn your way around the forums. Welcome.
