First: I would look into some sort of tune form a chip or haldheld programmer. You will probably need to run higher octane gas, it just depends on the type of tune. It would also firm up your transmission shifts.

Second: Air intake. Cold air induction and throttle body (Maybe a plenum it one fits the car.)

Third: Exhaust. A H-pipe for a 4.6 Mustang may fit on your car. If one did, than would help a lot with flow and sound, and then add some Flowmaster 40's for an aggressive sound on the outside, but still tame on the inside.

The 4.6 has a good aftermarket, but I do not know is things like intake plenums and H-pipes, will be a direct bolt-on on a Crown Vic.

What your axel ratio? T-Lok? Gears would improve acceration, but will lower your hwy MPG.

Another thing to remember is the basics: fuel filter, good oils/fliuds, proper tire pressure, clean T.B, and run some fuel system cleaner through your gas every once and a while.

If it were may car: chip, CAI, mufflers and ask an exhauat shop if a Mustang H-pipe would work. Then maybe look in a T.B/Plenum combo, but that just my opinion.
Here a link to K&N, it claims ~17Hp off their Cai alone.

Est gains: CAI ~10-15, Chip ~10, T.B/Plenum~10, Catted H-pipe with Flowmasters ~10.
You should be able to pull at least 40HP out of it with the above mods.

To give you an idea on the exahust gains: A 4.6 Crown Vic with factory dauls is rated at 10-15 more HP/TQ than the Crown Vic with singal exhaust. Do you have stock duals? Even if you do, there is a lot of room for improvement.

Check out this website: http://www.crownvic.net
If you sign up as a member, you have access to a bunch of people who have modified their Crown Vic, and could better assist you in picking out parts that they have had experience with. Good luck.
