gears heads and nitrous are the best bang for the buck, cheapest heads would be to get some gt40s or gt40ps nitrous kit if you can find a used one and ring and prinion aint much.

it depends what u call cheap

i pieced together my nitrous kit for half price over what a new one would be(including the extras i got) for 350-400
gears-500
cheap heads are 200 or so, but then u need to get them worked over-few more hundred


basically.. hp isnt cheap

I would have to say that under drive pulleys are the last thing you need. All they do is cause accessory problems and for the money your paying like 100-200 bucks for 5 horses which can easily be gained for free by adjusting your timing degree. Thats just my thinking but im not mechanic

its in my sig for a reason

IMO hp plays a big role, no brainer,but its how you get it to the blacktop. Of course gears wont give you horsepower, and yes a lil expensive, but well worth it. Add ons are a everywhere for our 5.0's and some are fairly cheap, but theres nothing thats realy that cheap thats gonna add hp. Nothing the label says anyways. But ya for starters, full exhaust, gears, and some kind of new air filter, up to you what you want to go for. Gears are only like 250 for the gears and of course the installation kit, but than you have to get them installed, if you cant do it. Only thing cheap and free is advance your timing a couple of degrees, good for a few hp. We all have our thoughts on how to get it done, so good luck
