Default What should i do first?

What should I do to my mustang first? i already have a K&N filter, 3.73's, and flowmaster cat-back. What should i get next? I dont have alot of money so no superchargers or anything. Should i go with a cam or an intake or what? What would get the most power for the lowest price?

before you do anything else get a decent pair of subframe connectors. Bolt-ins will work, but weld-ins will be better, I'm about to drop my bolt ins for some MM weld-in full length connectors.

Maxiumum Motorsports make some great suspension upgrades. I would recommend upgrading them first. Need to be able to plant all the power you are putting on. If you are stricktly looking for power upgrades Nitrous might be a good adder.
