Yeah, the T-Bird guys have ben swapping in Lightning MAFs with good success for a while now. That'll prolly give you 5-15hp, but most of it top end. You're still gonna need that gearing for autocross acceleration. Gearing will also help you to take advantage of the top end.

I'm surprised the rear-end costs $1000!? When I was looking for the T-Bird, a LSD was under $400, and installation supposedly is a breeze, like only an hour of work (at a shop)! Other T-Bird guy were getting them done for under $600... and if they did the swap themselves... for like half that!
