RE: HELP!! HELP!!
P.I. swap like stated before will be a big help. I would suggest getting the P.I. heads p+p and find a nice set of cams that won't cause PTV issues. LT headers, x pipe, catback and some induction mods will also help a little. The search feature *also stated above* will shed alot of light on your quest of wanting to go fast. Good luck!

RE: HELP!! HELP!!
ok since no one has explained why the cobra parts won't work i will. our mustangs have 16 valves (two per cylindar) while the cobras have 24 (four per cylindar) therefore if you want cobra parts you will need to get a cobra engine, but if you get a cobra engine you have to get a cobra tranny and so on and so forth... your best bet would be to do a PI swap (most people accept this to stand for power improvement but others say other things) and for the p+p, that stands for porting and polishing. what that does is it takes your current intake, throttle body, heads, etc and they make them wider (porting) so more air can flow through. then they polish them (not quite sure why so i will leave that for the next person as i don't want to give bad info). also, you could do basic bolt-ons like UDP (underdrive pulleys), a gear swap, CIA, exhaust system (headers, midpipe, catback) and some other stuff. basically it comes down to how much money you have, BUT remember if you can't install everything then you will have to pay people to install them, which adds up fast too
