I suggest none. Take any money you're thinking about spending on mods and put it away to save up for a V8.

welcome. CAI, exhaust, gears with some form of positive traction, underdrive pulley, and vmp custom tune. those are the basic mods, if you want more then first get a tuner from vmptuning.com, then either do a eaton m90 swap(supercharger from a thunderbird supercoupe) or a split port swap from a 99-04 v6 mustang.

but giving a budget and goal of what you want out of your car would help alot also.

Split port swap or get the M90 from a supercoupe that works great.

I'd go M90 set up for power. Cobra/Mach/Bullitt brakes up front and a new rear end with 3.73 gears.

This guy is selling off a set of SC heads, an M90 and the lower intake.
http://joplin.craigslist.org/pts/1676426033.html

I know it says $2500 but I called him and he said he just put a number up there because he didnt know what to ask.

You could give him a call and see what he would do for the M90 stuff.

I am seeing if I can grab that transmission off of him, its a 99 low gear trans.

Catback exhaust, headers, throttle body, cold air intake those would be the most obious.
