rpmoutlet.com tryO/R Xpipe .. U/D pullies (prefer aluminum)... C&L RPM plenum with PP 75mm T body. This might be a shade over $500, but its worth it. FYI some explorers come with 3.73s and ford parts fit very well in forddiff's with very little set-up issues.

Either spray or gears
tb/plenum wont do a whole lot.

Air intake on a otherwise stock car, is not gonna be the best bang for your buck.

Gears, spray, catback, or midpipe.
