i just got the car not too long ago and it runs great and strong,only mods are short throw shifter,k&n filter and 2.5 inch catback. the car has 107,500 miles on it.
i was thinking about buying a cold air intake and do a oil change on it with royal purple oil.
when should i replace my coils,wires and plugs? i was thinking about going all msd when the time comes.

For power, I'd suggest the PI swap (throw in better cams if you can afford it).

I'd also add a set of gears as well (3.73's or 4.10's).

i think it may have gears installed already but im not sure. 0-60 is pretty quick by the time i shift to 3rd im doing 60 and 3rd tops out at 85
4th gear tops out at about 110.

im slowly modding it,i figured a cold air intake and oil change will help it run a little better,and if its going to need coils,wires and plugs soon ill buy new msd coils and wires. after that then ill worry about the big stuff.

I actually recommend staying with factory Ford coils, rather than the MSD's. As for plug wires, I do like the MSD's and the FRPP's.

BTW, what's your RPM at 60mph? I can tell you what gears you have based on that.

why do you recomend the stock coils over msd? how often do the coils need to be replaced?
ill get back to you on the 60mph rpm

I installed a High Flow Catted X Pipe on my 96 GT to my Magnaflow Catback, sounds amazing and definitely freed a couple horses.

Do the PI Swap, though. Best bang for your buck performance wise. Aftermarket parts for our gen are a pain in the *** to find, compared to 5.0's and 99-04.
You'll need a tune, as well with the PI swap.

The MSD's generally fail alot more often than the stock coils. The stock Ford coils can also support a ton of HP, so there is really no need to change.

60mph rpm is about 2650
