I'd say first do some gears, everyone says it's the best mod they've done. I get mine in a few weeks, and I'll tell you if it is, but most places(atleast around here) will sell you the gears and install them for around 400 bucks. Next is the cheap, but effective K&N filter. Then a mid pipe, you can get a O/R X from here really cheap. Then some cheap U/D pulleys ( I got my steeda off of e-bay for 85 bucks) The same with the TB and Plenum (I paid 300 for both) Then get yourself a tune and some tires, and you should have a quick little stang :icon_thum

I add the mac cold air intake in my 03 GT it the one with the filter in the fenderwell. They say it adds 16.9 RWHP not sure how true thoe but I really did notice the throtle responce increase. I paid $170 shipped.

CAI are only for looks, they do no more than a K&N filter in the stock air box.

There really are not "cheap" mods that will get you more than a few hp.

Pulleys, midpipe, and gears are probably the best bang for the $$.

If you are mechanicall inclined and can do the install yourself cams are at $550 will get you 20-30whp.

Long tube headers are another good bolton if you can do it yourself. You will pay more than the headers themselves if you pay someone to install them for you.
