Trying to figure out my next performance mod. $600 CAI and tune was definitely the best money I've spent. Sucky thing is it looks like the remaining performance mods don't have anywhere near the same bang for the buck.

So what do you all recommend?

Some claim gears are a nice bang for the buck. No hp increase, but a definite mechanical advantage "kick in the butt".
Here's a thread on them:

Thank you for the replies. I'm reading up on everything now. I'm leaning towards gears. If I can get them and have them installed for $500 or less, I may be sold.

Have you considered some rear suspension upgrades, they won't raise your hp but they will lower your 1/4.

Lower and upper control arms will help, but I would do gears first if I were you. You will feel the LCA/UCA at the strip, but the gears you will feel all the time when driving. Seeing that you have 20" wheels, you almost need 4.10s to have the same acceleration as mustang with 3.31 or 3.55s with 17" or 18" wheels.

I bought a Steeda Rear Sway Bar for $159.95, huge difference. the back end stays flat when cornering like it's on rails. i think it was a better bang for the buck than my cai/tune.
