Default Common mods

Hey just wondering what the common mods are on these cars. My car already has 4.10 gears, an intake and a cat back. What are some of the prices and performance expections from other stuff. I used to have a svt contour also and I had done headers intake exhaust suspension and a tune. Same thing here? btw looking to keep it N/A.
also its got 96k miles so what maintnence should I do or parts to replace?
lastly, what brand/model plugs and wires are recomended for these cars?

LT headers and an X pipe are good ideas some other good ones would be either underdrive pullies or an electric waterpump.If staying N/A you might want to do some head / intake porting with cams. Thats where the real bolt on gains would be.Everything for these engines except the supercharger cost an arm and a leg. fr500 cams + head porting +intake porting =about $2600 a kenne bell would only be $3700.The supercharger is the better buy.

As far as plugs go use motorcraft they work great. DO NOT USE BOSCH PLATINUM! Ive personally suffered at the hands of the Bosch platinum plugs.Just over 3000 mi and the car atethe plug and spat it out.

Pulleys are a cheap help for a bolt-on from americanmuscle.com. RPMOutlet has some nice power packs at reasonable prices that include plugs/wires. Probably not much to replace, just thorough cleaning of fuel and air system.
