I agree with Titan. Don't waste money on a CAI. The best one you can get is at Home Depot for $15.

I agree with 4.10's as well. I have a 98 GT with 3.73's and wish I would have went with 4.10's. DON'T FORGET THE SPEEDO CALIBRATOR! It's very easy to install and your odometer will thank you.

If I had to do it all over again with a 96-98 GT, I would postpone the rinky-dink bolt-on route. Here's what I would do:

1. Gears
2. Head-swap
3. Intake manifold
4. Vortech supercharger
5. Tires, rims, suspension and bolt-ons

I think most people here will agree that you will see a solid performace gain from each one of these steps.
