ask your uncle to help bump up the base timing and run premium gas.
will give you little extra power, better throttle response and best of all its FREE.

some BBK shorty headers ($150) and a K&N airfilter ($35) would be good too.
Install a cobra intake ($350) and a Ford "E" cam ($180) and 65mm throttle body ($150)

Instead of the Cobra intake a Tom Moss ported lower for about $200 would be just as good. www.tmossporting.com

Really wake up that car for fairly cheap.

also......... remove the air silencer behind the airbox inside the fender well

if your uncle's a smart man, he's not gonna let you mod it for a while. your 15, you don't need anymore horsepower, no offense. what you need to do is save your money for when your mustang breaks, and this will happen, your gonna have enough repairs to keep you busy trust me. i have the same car you have, and i've spent alot of money over the last three years just keeping my baby on the road. and my car has always been in tip top shape.

My first car was a 93 5.0. I remember spinning out and knocking over yied signs, mailboxes, curbs... fun times. Its a great first car. Get some 4.10 gears (increase acceleration), Cold Air intake(id go BBK), exhaust-O/R midpipe if you dont have emissions, catted if you do-catback, headers, then get some drag radials, subframes, control arms, springs, struts, and shocks. That will keep you busy for a LONG time on a 15yr old budget. (im 18 and im still not done with those [:@]) Dont do nething stupid, and if you do, at least get used to driving the car first. Good Luck

Everyone is saying cold air. A $140 BBK Cold Air Intake is a waste of money, i regret buying mine. The stock intake is a fenderwall intake. Get a K&N Filter and keep the stock intake. Then get yourself some gears, and a full exhaust.
