Default FIRST MOD'S- Need Feedback

I plan to buy one of those XCAL2 from B@M@ along with some 3.73 fordracinggears. Does anyone suggest something other than this for my first two mods? Is there something I could get for pretty cheap as a third mod, I have considered shorty headers. I plan to install them all at once. Thanks

Exahust will give your least bang foryour buck, those are 2 best bang for the buck but make sure you have a very good shop install the gears.

A Ford Dealership will do the install. My friend is a technician(mechanic)for Ford and he says if I bring my car to his dealership he will install the gears for free and give me an OEM certification so I will still have full warranty coverage.
