Technically bolt-ons are modifications that don't touch oil, sorry bud. Cams touch oil, thus are not bolt-ons.
+1 on the short shifter, would consider that just as important as catbacks, gears or a high flow filter. OP Don't bother buying an aftermarket CAI you already have one on your engine from the factory.

Yes! I can't speak from experience since I've only owned 99+ mustangs, but from what I've read, the PI swap is a decent investment for a better modding platform. If I were to go to the trouble though, I would probably have the heads ported and get different cams instead of the stock new edge GT parts. They are cheap to find used though so that is a plus if money's an issue.
Here is a thread that describes the PI swap for ya.
