headers, cam, supercharger, new heads, K&N air filter, cold air, ram air, bore it, turbo, a 460 swap, the list goes on and on man, but to keep it performing good always change your blinker fluid after every 100,000 blinks

The weakest part of your car is the likely the radiator. It is a simple matter of physics when i tell you this: Energy is lost through heat. Transmissions, as they lose more and more heat, begin to cause more loss of power. However, that's only a small part - The worst part is the radiator! All sorts of heat is lost through the radiator - in essence - losing the horsepower through heat! so what yea do is get some sheet metal and build a box around your radiator to trap in the heat, and it helps protect it from rocks that may come flying through the grille...... i did that to my mustang took a full sec off my quarter mile

Plus you may want to check tire pressure. I like the thought of blinker fluid, I hate when that gets low. What a pain in the a**. It would be nice to know what this guy has done in order to give ideas. Fast stickers always help too!
