i think its worth it to maybe add a few small bolt ons, but i wouldnt spend so much monet on it, its a nice looking car to cruise around in, if your looking to brawl at street lights save for a gt, my cousin dumped 7 grand into a v6 only to but a $2000 89 gt and realize it was 10X's faster
congreats on your new car, what color exterior/interior?

Option C you need to look out for with the bigger throttle body on a stock upper intake manifold its been dyno proven in 5.0 mustang magazine that they lost 5hp and i forget how many ftlbs of torque with stock manifold our stock 60mm TB flows a little more then it should anyways..your best bet i think would be buy a cold air intake kit ..they're all pretty much the same, and do UDP ( underdrive pulleys ) you'll get pretty good outcome withthat then what you would with option C
