Default First mods?

Sorry for the annoying thread but I'm just curious what the usual first mods are for a Mach.
I'm new to the 4.6L's so I dont know if the mod lists are the same as the 6 Bangers.
Thanks for the advice. I'm saving up for exhaust as we speak but Im still undecided on what to get lol.

Well everyone says gears but that usually doesnt happen. I always say get your exhaust and intake so your car is breathing better. Then go for gears, shifter, springs.

Yeah spacers do absolutely nothing! The only thing they do any good on is a carbureted engine, where it gives the air/fuel more time to mix.

intake spacer on mach 1 4v engines do help about 75% of the modded mach 1s on mach1registy.org have it installed and they all swear by it, it definantly helped low end. I have it and felt low end improve. Why would i lie?

I would possibly get some gears...4:10's imo. But you could start off with a catback of your choice and maybe a mid pipe. Look around online to see if you can hear what you think sounds best.
