Default Best HP Mod for the $$?

My g/f got a 05 V6 for her graduation last year and since I finally got a mustang...I have talked her into modding hers. She will be putting on a custom fabricated exhaust and intake in a few weeks and eventually the tuner. However where can we go from there? Any thoughts...I'm not very familiar with 05 upgrades.

Most of the V-6 guys are raving about the rear sway bar mod (HELLSWIG (sp?)). It is not expensive, one guy said it made his V-6 corner like a go-cart. That will be my next mod.

Depending on the intake she gets, she may need the tuner at the same time.

If she's getting an intake that doesn't require a tune, the tuner won't bring out any more hp from the intake. I'd suggest a C&L or Demolet intake with SCT X-cal 2 tune. These 2 mods alone will really wake up her ride.

After exhaust, intake and a tune.. lesse.... 3.73 or 4.10 gears and limited slip differential (like the Ford Racing t-lok) would be dandy. She'll really want the limited slip after the intake and tune so she's not just spinning one wheeled burnouts... plus, the gears are just a kick off the line.
