Comments noted. Haven't ruled out Mo's Speed Shop but thinking I'll give the local guy a fair shake first. Going about this incrementally. CAI and 'tune' first. Possibly gears, torque converter, nothing serious. Happy with my Mustang with only a CAI and tune, completely stock otherwise (drivetrain). Nothing else planned for the 'stang.
Was happy as a clam with my '98 despite a 70 rwhp deficit compared to my '05. It had CAI, tune (chip), shift kit, torque converter, aluminum driveshaft, gears and underdrive crank pulley. Only about a 21 rwhp improvement over stock but it felt like 100 rwhp! A true pleasure to drive and money well spent. Unfortunately, it met an early demise but it's spirit lives on in my present car!

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
