Let the Cherry Mods Begin? Tweaking Power First

[Convertible 5.0]

I've got a cherry 97 Cobra Convertible with low miles.
I'm looking for the quick speed tweaks that will help the car perform by freeing up existing HP. No power adders just yet... although coming.

Any quick suggestions tuners?

Tuneup, gears, exhaust, hi-flow filter.

I agree with what you said about doing the exhaust right the first time. When I had my '03 Cobra I made the mistake of rushing into buying a Magnaflow catback (with Magnaflow catted X-pipe). A week after the install I was totally disgusted with the raspiness of the catback (and horrible drone between 1800-2100 rpms). I replaced the catback with a Steeda set and the sound was great. However, if I were to do it again I would never buy another X-pipe. The sound is too exotic. I would have gone with the MRT H-pipe to retain what I call that classic "Mustang Muscle" sound. Live and learn. LOL!

I'll add, too, that Jay Tucker (JLT) makes a nice CAI and RAI. I love the fact that you can have them painted to match your body paint or compliment it. O0
