Can never go wrong with a tune if you're looking for a little more power.. What do you want though?

You did not mention whether it is a 5 speed /M or automatic. Like the other 2 replies above a good quality custom tune and CAI will really wake it up. You have 4.6 and that add on will get you at least 35 hp and like wise on torque give or take. Someone from Bama tuning will be able to walk you through all of that.

Tune-required CAI+Tuner combo! Hands down

I love my C&L Racer + 93octane Brenspeed tune
