other than a k&n air intake and a free flow exhaust there is not much else to do unless you want to fix broken parts on a regular basis

You can typically get ten hp by put a K&N air filter in.
Other than that your bummin
You could tear out the AC and lose 400 pounds.

Put it on an aircraft carrier and have them hook it up to one of those jet launchers and fling it into the ocean. Good bye Ford.

I like Richard B's answer myself. But I'll explain better why you should not soup up a Taurus. THey have weak transmissions that are costly to rebuild, if you baby it you may want to get 120k miles out of the original tranny, then you'll be looking at about $3000 to rebuild it if done right . Taurus's have some other dependability issues and in my impinion they're somewhat of a lemon. I myself had one and since I have a heavy foot the tranny burned up on me after only 100k miles. If you want to go fast you have to trade that Taurus in on a Mustang GT. Good luck.

what size engine does it ahve? if it has a straight four, put in a 3.0L V6 like mine. My rate is 15 years old and FLIES.
otherwise you could attempt and put a V8 in it. but WHY could you want to make it faster? it does not have the handling to race.
