Welcome to the forums, I would maybe go cosmetic on mods if you were wanting to go that route, but that's just me.

Start clicking thru the list of sponsors. You'll see the posabilities are nearly endless. Start asking yourself what you want the car to do? Straight line or corner carver? How does it handle now? Check out the Maximum Motorsports website. They have different Grip packages that will give you tons of ideas on how to spend your money. Make yourself a list of priorities- engine, drivetrain, suspension, looks... Figure out what is most important to you in combination with what the car most needs- and start spending that cash!
Welcome to the Forums.

Good luck

Hey thanks a lot guys. Drove the car the other day...winter time in upstate NY + ICY roads = not good day to drive mustang. But the other day they were dry. The car has definately been lowered due to the beating I took over the bumps, the wheels are the chrome bullet 19s with low prof tires. Not sure what the cat back system is definately not flowmaster due to the tone being loudest at low rpm - ie around 2000 rpm. But I could be wrong. I guess I will just see where it goes from here. I think the next step will have to be headers, H or X pipe, a tack and a boost gauge as the car doesn't have one in it.

So I found a little issue with the car already. OK, maybe a few. While gasing the car it likes to sputter sometimes especially right above 3000 rpm. I also found a bit of a flat spot in second gear between 2000 and 3000 rpm. Would this be an injector issue with the supercharger or something else? The car will eventually be torn apart and redone but as for now with the budget I am on - Active Army with wife and 2 kids - I don't have the time, patience, or the money to do so. What do you think?
