Default Inexspensive upgrades

I was writing to get some advice on what to do to my 5.0 to get more power, around 300 would be nice. I am looking for upgrades that are around 1000, would not make my car temperamental to drive, seeing as how i drive the car quite offten, and would not make my engine blow up, lol. I guess I am asking for the most cost effective upgrades. Any help is appreciated.

aluminum wing, as big as you can find...

body kit that cant clear the pebbles in your drive way...

type-r badges add like 15hp per badge,

and drop a honda b-16 in your mustang,

or some sort of JDM 4cylinder, way better than a v8 anyday.

and altezza tail lights.

oh **** son, with all that, i dont care what kinda mustang it is, it'll run 10s no problem
