Basic Mods for your 05-09 GT

So my babys an 06 automatic GT bone stock as far as i can tell and I would like to know what DIY mods I should do if I want to squeeze out 300 rwhp. I'm already planning on a CAI and tuner package. I would be interested in stroking my engine up to 5.0 but that's mostly so I could put badges on and not feel lame about it. I'm pretty new to this and I want to hear what people have done and maybe what they would have done if they were to do it again.
Thanks in advance

So far all I've done to my 06 GT is black out the tail lights chopped 16" of the stock aentenna and put blue bulbs in the overhead map lights and after I put in some sequentials that are on the way, I plan on spending some time and money on performance but I don't think it's a good idea to listen to some of my ricer friends because a mustangs a far cry from a supped civic or rx-8. So if you had about 500-600 bucks on you, what would you guys do to my car. It's pretty much all stock except for some motegi mr116 17" wheels. I was thinking cold air intake and x pipe but idk how much this will boost performance.

My Pony!
I have an 06 auto GT and I am on a small budget. I've added Steeda Underdrive pulleys, Ford Racing spark plugs, spark plug wires, Air Intake manifold, Hot Rod Cams, 4:10 gears, C & L CAI, JBA LTS and O/R X pipe and SCT Flash Tuner with 93 octane tune. At the rear wheels I have 317 HP.

Weight Reduction for beginners
Hey everyone from Afghanistan,
I am currently deployed overseas and am 2 months out from finishing up a 12 month deployment. I just bought an 07 GT and this whole deployment i have been planning all sorts of upgrades for a N/A setup, but until recently i haven't given weight reduction much thought. What are some easy ways to knock off some lbs off my stang and how much would it be to have it done at a shop or could i do them myself?
Thanks

Ive done some cosmetic mods on my 07 GT convertible over the past few months such as A lighted styling bar, side scoops, engine bay dress up stuff and a set of take off Bullitt mufflers for a little more sound. In a few hours I wlll be picking up my 07 from Lamotta performance in Longwood FL who is installing chrome valve covers to go with my Brenspeed Detroit Rocker cams and a FRPP CAI with a dyno tune. Also a new set of Brisk 1 piece spark plugs. Cant wait to see the results from these mods. Maybe a set of long tubes next spring.....depends on the cash flow.

Good starter mods in my opinion
Air Intake System, Larger Throttle Body, & New Exhaust Mufflers. Good thing about this car is most of these applications are bolt on and don't require a custom tune. But if you want the full potential out of each part the a custom tune is in your best interest.
