Just bought a 97 Ford Mustang V8, 4.6l, 107 miles, with a 5sp and would like to use it for drifting at the track.

I have already upgraded the brakes/calipers to Cobra brake system. Put in Flowmaster cat's and mufflers. I read that 97 only produces 215hp and since I had 2002 mustang with the exact same engine that produced 265hp I'd like to know what was different and may be get this one to 300hp+.

My ideas were:
1. K&N intake
2. Chip
3. Pulley Kit
4. ?????

I want to keep the engine naturally aspirated so no turbo chargers or superchargers. Another problem is that I am 5500ft elevation and so that horsepower is probably down 172hp from 215. Please help with suggestions.

A '97 with 107 miles? If your odometer reads 107 on a '97 I think it's REALLY 100,107. I would find it really hard to believe a '97 with 107 miles.
