Default What are some good cheap or beginner mods?

I know everyone here is modding their stangs so I just want everyone's input on what i can do first to my stang and what not. I'm not really about exterior very much right now. More of under the hood and what not. Though i would like a good tip of advice on where to get a good selection of rims.

oewheelsllc.com and americanmuscle.com both have a pretty wide selection of rims with good customer service. If you have an auto for a beginner mod I would recommend a tuner. Exhaust and intake will free up a few hp but don't do much, most do the exhaust for the sound.

I thought an exahust kit might make it breathe a bit better besides and intake mod.

the $70 intake on americanmuscle.com will look good under the hood, add a couple horses and allow you to work on your car a bit.
the tuner would be a great buy though if you have the cash

Is a tuner a computer that interacts with the chip inside of the car?
