Another cheap and easy mod is to bore your stock mass air unit out to about 62mm (or get a C&L 73). Don't forget to buy a good shifter so you don't screw up your trans.

The biggest restriction in the stock intake is the lower intake - I have been porting them for Stang owners for years. I charge $100 labor plus return shipping - from Texas that should be about $15 each way or $130 total. I don't have any customers from this forum (that I know of) but I can direct you do other references if your interested. Just send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send pics and reference locations.
