Default Torch Red 2003 Mach 1

I know my name is Mustangmuscle99 but i just traded in my 99 V6 for a 2003 Torch Red Mach 1 with 2000miles. Im new to the 281 4v. How hard is regular maintence like Oil changes spark plug. est. Or should i just take it to my local Ford Dealership? And what are some started mods i should do for increased power? It has magnaflow exhaust and im happy with that. Thanks

2000K miles? or 20,000 lol if it has 2K you are so lucky.. You could always go forced induction route with a vortech or paxton supercharger. Or a cold air intake?

haha. i like how you go with both ends of the spectrum. $200 cai or $4k s/c. since you have the pi top end already, id say spend $600 and go Zex wet shot. fun affordable and LOTs of fun.

other wise id say focus on the suspension first.
