got a 2001 falcon forte au II with stock everything at 140000km's, just bought it.

is there any small first time engine mods i could do to get some more power out of the engine?

start with cold air intake (plenty of threads on this forum), then get 2.5 inch catback exhaust with extractors and high flow cat. If your car is auto, convert it to manual. Then get 3.9 diff gears with LSD and you'll have a pretty good cruiser.

ok cool thanks, so a pod/box custom intake would be better then stock?

On a related topic how much would it cost too add cruise control?
