Welcome to LvC!

Check out our Mark VIII Performance thread. Lots of good information there.

Post some pics of your car!

Some 4.10 gears in the back would make it feel like it has that much more HP. One piece driveshaft is a must though.

That's asking for a lot! :eek:

Start with all the basic maintenance items - you cannot mask performance issues with performance mods.

'96-'98 Cobra intake, '03-'04 exhaust manifolds or Kooks headers, full dual exhaust with free flowing mufflers, Meziere water pump, colder spark plugs, colder t-stat and a dynotune will net you more HP.

Steeper gears with traction lock and a high stall converter will make the car feel lighter. Requisite supporting mods would include a steering shaft mod to accommodate the exhaust manifolds, a performance driveshaft, HD transmission cooler, J-mod; possibly suspension bushings and bracing, Addco sway bar(s) and stiffer shocks for handling.

It may not be 50-60 more HP but it will sure feel like it. ;)
 
Welcome aboard.

I definitely agree with John. Make sure she's 100% tip top before proceeding. Then start off with Cobra intake swap, exhaust, Lightning MAF, cold air intake, etc... to get you plenty more power. Maybe not a full 90 but you will feel a HUGE difference.
