instead of intake and chip ...id go with gears, and udp's or something along those lines ...an intake wont do much for you and a chip isnt the best starting mod to get either

Im driving on the freeway and im in 4th gear and getting ready to shift into 5th at about 60 mph and the rpms drop and the car stalls. What could possibly cause that? Its farely new, only 45,000 miles what would cause that? Do I need to change plugs? The car still idles a little shaky as well. How much are tune ups on mustang gt's for the dealership? Who do people trust in so cal to work on their mustangs?

Check your Computer for codes and take a look at your old plugs when you replace them.

Here's some good info on how to read your plugs:

Suspected systems are ignition, fuel, Emissions, and finally electronic (computer).

I knew my 98 had a bad computer when I was on the highway one day and the car decided to go into anti-theft mode and kill the engine right when I was decelerating for the exit.

Be sure to check for vacuum leaks at the intake manifold or vacuum hoses.

Check to make sure the following emissions system sensors are good:
MAF, IAT, DPFE, EGR valve and vacuum regulator.

Thats all I can think of right now...
