just little mods? well exhaust, let me recommend a MAC catback system with a UPR x-pipe ( www.uprproducts.com ) u can get that under $500 i believe. but you could also get flowmaster 40 series with a BBK x-pipe, and any kind of x pipe you wanted, even an h-pipe. i recommend x-pipe though. (you have to get the MIL's and the o2 sensors though) for intake, MAC has a good one so you could do that. the MAC is almost compared to the cobra intake, which is one part of the cobra where it get's it's name. just my $.02!

Go with your Ford Motorsport Gears 3.73</P>


Mac Exhaust including: shorty headers(not equal length) Mac Pro-chamber, and the Mac Mufflers.. </P>


Then make sure you are breathing, with a cold air fenderwell intake tube, by MAC. Make sure it has a K &amp; N Filter on it.</P>


You can also move up your timing to 14 degrees.</P>


And above all before you do all the mods... get a tune up, you don't know when those things were changed last, and you want it to be fresh with you so you know , and for your satisfaction that you have new plugs and wires, rotor and cap, all the fluids flushed, </P>


The trick flow street heatintake or Edlebrock intakes will make a fine choice.</P>

mil eliminators stop the o2 sensors from triggering a "check engine" light. they are used for 96 and up cars. You'll be fine with no cats, you just won't pass any expection if you have them!!
