Default Good Daily Driver mods

What kinda mods aregood for a daily driver 4.6? Im planning on getting a 2002-2004 gt, of which the first mods i will do are gonna be an MGW short throw, and some kind of air box removal K&N thing. what else could i do to get some decent power gains, for the lowest prices, that would still keep the mileage above 15 city. P.S. i might end up getting like 3.90s as well, i downt want 4.10's they seem like overkill.

i got a tuner and it seemed to help with gas mileage but it also made it fast so you tend to be wanting to go fast more.

Exhaust, intake, and gears should be your first mods, along with a tuner. Those mods will make you a few tenths quicker and gas mileage will not suffer.

I have basic mods in my sig, and mine is a DD. Only thing I plan on doing further is mid pipes, exhaust, and pullies. Ofcourse some visual mods here and there.

Supercharge it.

On a stock car, just the supercharger would make 350/360 WHP and would still be perfectly streetable. Even with cams/exhaust/etc I am still getting 21 MPG highway (bad in city though) and except for the clutch its perfectly streetable.

isnt it adjustable to either side, or like up and down, back and forth.
