I say that you probably have 200-203hp at the crank and 165rwhp(auto) or 175rwhp(manual). Those are just guesses of course. What kind of mods are you planning on doing next??? Performance or looks?? I would say that you have more than enough looks mods... lol
OP, I just realized that this thread is your thread... I fail sometimes... lol
For $700 I would suggest a tuner and then it depends on what you goals are for the car. Have you done any suspension work? What kind of drive-train do you have?
i want the car to be a daily driver that i take to the track once a month and maybe even beat a few gts and other v8s and im done with the looks part , i got all that body work because my dads old friend gave me a discount since i just turned 16 and the car looked like every other mustang. i have stock drive-train and suspension all i have preformance wise is CAI and h-pipes, gt take offs, magnaflow mufflers. and im going to order the sct tuner from americian muscle next week, should i get the preloaded tuner or the custom one?

and do you think a person with very little car experence can do a windstar upper intake manifold change by themself? do i use a 99-04 windstar upper manifold? and is that the only piece i need to change?

Their is a very detailed write-up of how to do a Windstar upper intake swap floating around here. Look through the pages or search for it. Stalkerstang wrote it. I forget the thread title but search for it and it should answer all of your questions, it is not a hard swap if you just take your time or have a semi-knowledgeable friend help you out.

N o, you use the upper manifold off a 96-98 Windstar and you'll need more parts and some fabricated parts as well. If you want a bolt-on kit to do it then VAP is the best source as the kit they sell is perfect for someone that can do some work on cars but is not able to create parts that will be needed. And I don't care what anyone says, the VAP kit to me is the best way to do it since nothing needs to be mickey moused and you will be able to use the stock hood without surgery.
i'd like to add to the windstar idea. although I didnt go the VAP route, I did notice a wake-up on my car once I finally bit the bullett and did mine. I dont know if the write up on this board is the same as the one I found and used but it was worth it to me. I noticed a difference even though most of the difference is probably all in my head
good luck with modding. whatever you do, research the crap out of any modding job before you start and make sure you are aware of all the complications you might run into. I do this myself and everything I have done has still taken longer than what I anticipate.

Reason: forgot advice
ok thanks that helped i think ill get one before summer is over but im going to get a tuner first and then i want to get a procharger p1sc, its supposed to be able to do 8psi without any damage to a stock motor and it goes to 11psi which is supposed to give you 340hp @ 11psi on a stock v6 so ive heard (might not be entirly true) but i want that done then ill go for the windstar mod but which tuner do i need (links a few posts ago)? thanks

I thought that with the VAP kit you had to use a different hood or cut a hole in the existing hood??
OP, the Procharger is good for that power. 340hp is starting to push the stock internals though so be careful of anything after that.
The VAP kit uses a remote IAC hookup, and there is an extension on the TB so you can use the stock hood. I personally don't like the way the VAP TB extension looks, but to each his own. I did mine on my '01 because I have the Corba R hood, so I didn't have to relocate anything. I just had to extend my IAC wires. My total cost was around $40.00 including the intake and TB......
Some of the SC kits come with a programmer. So if you buy it now, you can take that cost off of the kit later on......
well since this has to be my daily driver im going to wait a while for the p1sc procharger and im going to get p & p lower intake manifold and the windstar upper from vap. also which cam wold go best for this? and do you know how much install would be for this, just a ruff estimate would be good. and if i got that, a tuner, gears, t lok, new injectors and the p1sc how much hp do u you think i could get out of high boost? hopefully... ...400ish+++ right? ohh ya and maybe a suspension mod and an aluminum flywheel too... thanks lol i no i write more on here then i would on my essays, that are actully due pretty soon, might wanna start on that lol
