Intake manifolds have to come from Super Six Motorsports or Delk Performance.
CAI ... get a cheap one from American Muscle.

another cheaper intake upgrade is that one off of a 96?+ 3.8 windstar mini van will yeild some power, however no one has a dyno/time slips to show what they give

depends on how much you wanna spend. there is plenty available for the car. im going with a stage 3 powerpak from supersixmotorsports.com. it is pricey, but the gains will be good, and itll be even better when i build the bottom end and boost it.

now, if you are more in the couple hundred bucks range, id stick with just an intake from stangmods.com. itll be worth a few hp, and it is fairly cheap. unfortunately, to go real fast cost money.

Best performance is had by a hand crafted intake manifold.
The Windstar intake is nice but a PITA and doesnt offer the power increase that SSM's sheetmetal intakes offer.

But then again you are looking at $50 bux to $800 bux
