the first of all questions. What do you want to do with this car?

weekend only?
track?
daily driver?


those cars do GOOD with gear upgrades. typical is 3.73 or 4.10 and 3.73 is the choice for lots of 65mph+ driving. If you stay off the interstate and dont go out of town much then go with 4.10

Gears and a good tune are a good starting point to go with your exhaust and intake.

another common upgrade for that year is the PI SWAP. basically putting on the inatke manifold and heads from a 99-04 GT its good for 50hp i say.

+1 on the PI swap. Cam the car and run a good dyno tune. Gears, then work on some suspension to put some power down. Good sticky tires out back too
