5.0L 99 Explorer - Tips

Ok, I'd like to hear any tips you guys can give on things I can do to this engine. K&N air filter is a given and so is a cat-back exhaust. Now, anything else within reason (money-wise) that anyone might suggest to get a bit more performance out of it? I was actually trying to find out if a whole new air intake system (Airaid) would be a good idea or just go with the filter? I couldn't find an Airaid that would fit it anyway, but maybe something else?

5.0L 99 Explorer - Tips

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 19-Nov-02 AT 10:07 PM (EST)]I have a 99'5.0
I went with a KKM intake, superchip, and the Gibson Cat-back. It really woke my X up. The chip helps in raising the redline and making the shifts more crisp. I took everything off and dropped in a FMS 347. I'm going to put the chip and exhaust up for sale on Ebay this weekend. Email me if you are interested. Dom
