Hey, can anyone one point me in the right direction for some performance upgrades for my 2002 Taurus? Any help would be great!

You did not say what engine you have. Is it the vulcan,flex fuel or dohc? I have checked for my vehicle. It is a 2003 model w/3.0 flex fuel and there really is not much you can do. There is a chip available for both the vulcan/flex fuel and dohc from summit racing. It will give you appox about 10-12 hp for base engines and 15-20 for the dohc.(different chip for dohc)The only other thing would be a replacement air filter from part stores.Other than these , that is it. Hope this helps.
