I'll clear up some of the things Hammer wasn't sure about

AOD is a automatic transmission, AOD stands for automotic over drive. You can has a AODE, the "E" stands for eletronic because your transmission is controlled by the computer

The term fox body is often used to describe the 1979-1993 Mustang

You don't HAVE to have a manual transmission for your car to be fast, but in stock to moderaly modded cars a manual will be faster. The reasons are: A)due to the way they are designed they are more uneffecint than a manual, B) The transmission has to drive a pump which sucks up horsepower, and C) they are heavier. Autos can be helped out a lot by the addition of a higher stall converter and a shift kit.

As for mods here is what I would do. In order

K&N air filter
4.11 gears
2 1/2" cat-back
off-road H-pipe(unless you have emission testing)
shift-kit
65mm throdle body
70mm mass air meter
2800-3000 stall converter

That is all I can think of now, but I'm sure some other members can think of more mods, try posting in the Modular Fourm. Also a power adder such as nitrous oxide or a supercharger will add a LOT more power. Also swapin on a set of 99+ GT heads will also give you a lot more HP.

I hope this helps. Like I said before, try posting in the modular forum.
