Which 4.6 Bolt Ons Give Me The Best Bang For The Buck?

My son just picked up a 98 Xpid. He loves to add bolt ons for more power. What are the top 4 things best for this setup?

Thanks...you know how sons are!

Chip, dual electric fan kit, power pulleys are all pretty reasonable priced mods that yeild real results.

A good CAT back exhaust system will help a little but are expensive and don't offer much of a bang without having done the chip first.

the electric fan kit will save lost hp used to drive fan. the chip will allow for more agressive spark timing, trans control, etc. but will require you burn premium unleaded fuel. the power pulleys and shorter belt will 'underdrive your accesories' and cut power loss.

Notice I didn't mention a FIPK? that's because the 2-3 hp they yeild isn't worth $150-$250.

Thanks for the info, it will help as I put the list together.

What do you think about upgrading my Mass Air-Flow Sensor? How power do you think I can really get?
