Default New to mustangs

I bought a 97 GT coup for a project car and have a few questions; first the previous owner added
x pipe , removed the cats, cold air intake.All I have done so far is cosmetic stuff, I was wondering in small steps at a time what would be the best items to add , such as pulleys, intake manifold and such Also I was wndering what is the best tuner to purchase for a car that will gradually have more and more mods done to it? I was also wondering if the diagnostic function of the tuners work on any vehical or just the vehical it is assigned to?

+1, and a tune also. Forget the other mods, they won't give you any power. After those two are done: shift kit, then some suspension.

^Save up for it. I did my PI swap for $700 and I got a lot of extra stuff to go with it (full PI swap kit, every gasket from the oil pan to valve covers, Melling oil pump, timing chain tensioners, water pump, etc).
