start with the basics, do up your exhaust, put a cold air intake on it, good plugs, wires, distribitor cap and rotor. Make sure your plenum is not leaking cause if it is, you will loose lots of power. Also run some 93 octane in it and do the poor mans throttle body mod. Then you will beat up on that v6 mustang!

You're on it. Go grab your Dremel.

Get your truck in tip-top shape. Change all the fluids with synthetics, spark plugs (NGK), plenum, etc...
