Default Most bang for the buck

New bone stock '04 GT Automatic. What are the simplest modes to do to get the most bang for the buck. I am not talking supercharger here! Things like CIA, T/B, computer, etc. Let's keep it real, like a hundreds of dollars per mod not thousands! I still gotta pay off the bank loan ya know!

Thanks,

first off....automatic, booo. Anyways I'd start with an exhaust, I personally like my offroad H with 2 chamber flowmasters. then I'd go with a C&L cai kit (everyone seems to love them but I prefer densecharger). then get yourself a 75mm accufab tb and either the accufab 75mm upper intake or C&L's...that should do for now...although 4.10's in that automatic would be awesome!

Gears, CAI, MAF, Intake Plenum, Pulleys, exhaust, TB, and that's about it for the money I suppose. I am probably forgetting some other things though.

Ford Auto's are terrible. Although if you can afford a shift kit, 4.10 gears and possibly a torque converter, it'll be better than any 5 speed.
