Default Stock 5.0 needs help
I just bought a bone stock 89 GT convertable with 84k miles, and I am new to the 5.0's. What bolt on's can I do to get more power out of the engine?

Most people seem to get a Cold Air Intake first.

i would say the cold air intake, then the rear in gears, 3.73 or 4.10, underdrive pullys, beat bang for the buck.
