no but seriously, best mods you can do from stock are...

400-600$ longtubes
150-450$ mid-pipe
250-450$ catback
sound clips can be found around the forum as far as what you want in that area.
under drive pulleys

then i'd gear 500-800$ and tune it 300-400$.

if you really want to, get a cold air intake 40-140$, wont yeild much of an increase, but its cheap.

and if you want a supercharger, i'd do everything i said previously, minus the underdrive pulleys.

supercharger will run ya 4000-5000, with around 800-1200 additional for labor.

personally i wanna stay n/a for as long as possible, and once im fully bolted on, ill attack the heads/cams, and hope the power is sufficient for my pants.

Yes spray is the cheapest, but isn`t a 125 shot a little much for a stock motor? I`ve been hearing you shouldn`t go over 100 shot.

An intake will perform better when your car is tuned for it. 125 shot is a tad much...anything above a 100 shot you need to tune it so you dont blow it the **** up. Do you want to supercharge it? or do you want to have it naturally aspirated (no nitrous no turbo no supercharger)? Yes a supercharger will shorten the life of your engine...but not even close to a severe amount.
