I have a 1997 3.8l 5 speed mustang. I want to know about some basic bolt on things i can get to add HP. My budget is about 1000 right now, all it has done to it as of now is dual exhaust with magnaflow, high flow cats and some kind of cheap headers i have never heard of that where on it when i purchased it. K&N cold air, and thats it. so im open to suggestions. Please help

you should be able to do some basic porting and pick up a cam with $1K

How many miles are on the car?

To me your best bang for buck for under $1000 would be split port swap and underdrive pullies. If you wanted to save up a little more you could stay with the single port and do a cam swap and porting. This is where I got my stuff... http://www.supersixmotorsports.com/p...3PowerPaks.pdf
