Default next mod?

what would be a great next mod? so far i've got a flowmaster axle-back, 93 race tune, jlt intake, short shift + bushings.

would get gears but don't want to the outrageous prices for installation. i'll do that down the line in a bit. right now i want to do something i can do myself, so i can skip the installation fee. i'm thinking about the under drive pulley. i've heard mixed reviews about them though. from5 hp gain, to no gain, or you'll feel the power 30 minutes after you start up.

it seems as if the only n/a mods one can do is. intake/tune, gears, exhaust,and the under drivepulley. i was hoping an intake manifold would be coming out shortly, because the gt has one coming outshortly,but looks like that's not going to happen for us.

RPMoutlet.com calims that the Motoblue Ford Hardcore Performance Plug Wires gain around 10 hp 11 tq for the 4.0 V6. Although I'm sure that 10 hp from plug wires won't mean as muchas a pulley change.But a pulley may not be as easy as it looks.

I vote you take a short break from performance and do something aesthetic that you've been wanting to do. Like window tint,chin spoiler,braided hose kit, etc.

thanks for the replies guys

somachine - thanks for the suggestion,i was thinking about those wires not to long ago, but those gains seems a little far fetched. if i were to install them i'd be expecting 0 gain to5 hp and5 tq, whichis probablyat best. i'm probably going to have to pick them up, they're not to pricey afterall. and if i do get those numbersthat areadvertised, then woohoo. =)

nonstopred -thanks to you too,headers would be cool,the soundwould be nice,but i'm the type of guy if i were to install amodlike that and of that price,it has to give me somesort ofa performance gain. from what i've been reading on the site, headers show littleto no gain. and that's an extremely bad price to performance ratio.

looks like my next mod is the upgraded plugwires! i'm definately going to need window tint realsoon after that though, the florida heat is kicking my *** through the windows. haha.
