Power and performance costs money. You don't have to spend an outrageous amount of money to get good performance, but you're gonna have to spend money if you wanna really start making power. Some suspension stuff helps too, better traction=better performance. Nitrous is prolly the cheapest way to get the most power

Air Silencer Removal gets you alittle more, but you should just go ahead and get a CAI

cold air intake. I've heard two different stories, "it's a V8, it won't make any difference and it's a waste of money" then I hear 9-15hp gain

Yeah, it seems like the jury is out on whether or not a CAI adds power but it looks cool which is worth a few bucks alone. I say get it. You're lucky to have the 373s already in. Take a Mustang out for a spin with factory gears and it'll feel like a dog.
