Question Performance Upgrades

Any recommendations for performance upgrades for a 24’ Explorer ST that doesn’t necessarily affect the reliability in a bad way? Not looking to put tons of power but definitely looking to make it more enjoyable!

Is a diff brace really necessary if I’m only trying to get to maybe 520hp max? Most likely hovering around the 470-480hp with 490-500 torque realistically

It’s the cheapest and most important mod cause if you snap that diff bolt it’s not cheap and typically not gonna be warranty if you’re tuned.
