Its a manual. It also has hardened pushrods and new 1.6 roller rockers if that makes a difference. I don't know much about 5.0's.

+1

first replace plugs, wires, o2 sensors, all that good stuff

then go get a good dyno tune.



i never get why ppl buy a pretty fast car, and want to mod for power right away....

i could understand like my car, that only makes low 200's, but shouldent you not get bored of a 300hp car THAT fast?

You could do much better with a custom grind.
