First thing most people say is to get gears.From what i've heard it's best to get 3.73 for a manual,or 4.10 for an automatic for a daily driven car.

Then a speed calibrator if you want your speedometer to be exact after the gear install.

And the first thing i always get on a new car is a short throw shifter.Most people will recommend eather the pro5.0 or the steeda tri-ax.I chose the tri-ax shifter,and love it

Then you should get some underdrive pullys.I haven't put any in my car yet,but i will soon.Some say steeda is the best,and some say pretty much any will do.Here's the steeda ones

I would also think about the exhaust system.Since i do all the labor myself i didn't get any headers yet,since they're a biatch to put in.You can get eather off road x/h pipe,or x/h pipe with high flow mufflers.Since i live in florida and we don't have emissions testing i went for the mac off road x pipe,for most power gains,and a nice sound.

With off road x/h pipes you'll also need m.i.l. eliminators,to make the "Service Engine Soon" light that will go on after you put the off road x/h pipe on go off.

And a magnaflow cat back.I get ALOT of compliments on the sound,even from most z28 drivers,and you know they don't like mustangs.I got my magnaflow from ebay for like 280 bucks,but you can find it on jegt too.Look for this product number

642-15671

Most people will also say that a cold air intake is pretty much useless,so i'd say get a high flow k&n filter

http://secure.50resto.com/50restorat...ategory_ID=603

Then some will reccomend a throttle body,i don't know about that one,at least not with few mods only,so i really don't know which one to get since i haven't looked into them.Anyway make sure you check the right engine size when choosing a product,so you don't end up buying a cobra part and not knowing why it doesn't fit.

Also those are like the most basic mods,after that you start getting alittle more hardcore.If i forgot something i hope someone else will jump in.And if i got something wrong i hope someone let's you know before you make a mistake.

Hope that helps.
