When I changed the plugs, cap & rotor, installed hypertech chip & 160 stat, and straight pipe. It runs so much better. Fairly basic stuff but runs super cool now and a little more snap when you hit the go pedal.

Any other good mods that are easy to do?

my others are:
shift kit
K&N
IAT relocated
fuel pressure regulator

future mods:
cut out MAF screens
cut air lid
pulleys
air pump eliminator kit

future futer mods:
new engine with superram & vortec heads with lingenfelter cam
 
I ported the plenum.
I took the plenum off and widened the holes that send air thru to the runners.
 
That Super Ram is a real picnic, isn't it? I am faced with taking it off, again, in my re-do of some 'professional' work. As long as it is apart, I will epoxy paint or powder coat it, as that aluminum needs help, IMHO. Polishing the ribs on top if very time consuming and dirty work.

Yeah, I went a bit radical, too, but the odor of liquefied rubber grows on ya.:w
 
Not sure which smells better, the odor of rubber or victory over new mustangs... but I'm hoping to not have to take off the SR for a good long time. There's a cool-looking intake by FIRST (http://www.firstfuelinjection.com/products.htm) which I may get if I do have to remove/replace anything major. It's a TPI, but much much better than the stock ones and it looks easier to work on/around.

I just realized I still have your old radiator in my garage, Whalepirot...
