Default modding a 5.0L

alrite well ive got my mustang in right now getting a 5.0L 1988 engine and it has MAF, and im starting to think about possible modifications, at the moment it is my only car and i need it to be as efficient as possible. it is bone stock as it stands except for getting flowmaster mufflers. it is going to be a mass air flow engine before any of you suggest that. at the moment im thinking of getting a cold air intake, maybe a slightly larger throttle body? and a MSD ignition to improve the efficiency and power. but i am definately open to any suggestions, what brands of mods put out the most bang for your buck? again any information on any of this is greatly appreciated

i would add that before u start to mod go ahead and give it a tune up. plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc.. that way it runs the way it should.
