Do you have sub frame connectors!They are a must.
How about appearance stuff,for the interior,under the hood in the engine bay,even for the exterior.
A custom tune aswell is always good to get the most out of your current combo if you already don't have one.

For exterior i just got it repainted in the fall its got a full saleen ground effects,cervinis heat extractor hood and saleen s281 spoiler with saleen emblems and decals.It also has black beauty headlight anda cdc light bar so i am pretty much finished with the exterior and just finished doing the stero so thats all done too but i think a tuner might be next months new toy.

Sub frames for sure, I would also trade the 3.73's in for 4.10's.

If you want to super charge it you can now start by buying larger injectors, new MAF, fuel pump/lines/rails, MSD ignition box, etc...

What about a Cobra brake upgrade? Looks sweet and you wont regret the insanely better than stock stopping power!

Aren't those UPR pullies piggybacks? If so, getting rid of them for a better set. Would be a little help.

If you have the stock front and rear sway bars on the car then I would guess the bushings have seen better days so replacing the sway bars for a beefier set would help or at least replace the bushings with new ones.
The same applies to the upper/lower controls arms. If you do not want to replace them outright.....at least replace the bushings in the stockers.


As was already mentioned, a set of full length sub frame connectors would be a definite improvement.

Since you have replaced the throttle body and plenum then maybe look at a better flowing lower intake. There are lots of these on the market and if you ever go with a supercharger it will help add even more hp/tq.

You could get your stock heads ported as well or look for a deal on an aftermarket set. Slap a stage 2 cam in and with a new tune you will be very happy.

A set of long tube headers should be on your list as well.

I would do either a tuner or full length headers. your definitely on the right track though

Thanks for the help guys the reason i havent done headers is i was told it a ridiculous install job time wise to do them? Are the sub fram connecters bolt in or weld? And next payday i think i will try to pick up a tuner? I havent seen much for intake manifold for the non pi 4.6's there are alot for the pi heads but not for 96-98 and thanks again guys this is giving me alot of ideas.

By the way so far for brakes i am running hawk performance pads front and rear but thats it for brakes.And the reason why i choose 3.73s instead of 4.10's is because its my summer daily driver and i do alot of highway driving so i thought of better fuel economy with the 3.73's.

^^Go with the weld in full length sub frame connectors. Can;t go wrong with the Maximum Motorsports ones.
