Default Need Performance Mod Help!

I have about $450 to spend on some performance mod/mods. Currently I have a Full Exhaust and thats about it as far as perforamnce mods go. What would be the best bang for my buck. I'm planning on getting a super charger within the next year or so. So the one thing I don't think I"m going to get is a CAI. Please feel free to throw in your opinion. Thanks!

edit: Suspension work has been done.

im going to go ahead and say gears for a "performance" mod. so far gears have been my favorite.

If you dont wanna do gears..id say work on suspension to get ready for F/I.

I have a '02 and I have the 3650 Tremec.

I know the gears themselves aren't that expensive, but isn't is expensive for the install kit and actual installation at the shop?

looks like i'm going with the gears! i'm looking at these gears on american muscle and i have a few questions about them:

1. on the page they list several option they suggest to purchase. one is a master bearing kit and the other is an installation kit. do i need both of these to install the gears? also, anything else i would need to provide the mechanic for the install?

2. i dont' have a tuner, so how would i go about fixing my speedo?

Yeah i've never actaully had gears on either of my mustangs but apparantly they really give you the kick in the pants your probably looking for.
