how can i get more power


i honestly wanna make my mustang a beast of the streets. not rich or anything so a supercharger is out of the question. so for the sake of being realistic, what is the best/cheapest way for me to increase my horsepower?

gears, they wont give you power but you will gain about 2-3 faster than you are now, if you get 3.73s or 4.10s you will fall in love with them, then get nitrous or start with bolt ons............look at what johnson posted
