Ok, I'm going to start putting some performance mods on my 06 Mustang GT in the spring. I don't have a huge budget, so I want to start off relitively low end on the price scale (Supercharger will happen next year probably, not this year). So what should I start off with?

What I am wanting to get for sure:
Cold Air Intake (which one would be best? Price wise and one I don't have to get tuned).
Gears (thinking of getting the 3.73 gears, do I need to get them installed by Ford so they don't void my warranty?).

Not sure what else to get other then that which would give me performance boosts and not make me broke.

If you know you want to go super/turbo charged, get mods that will support that.

Stage III clutch
Aluminum driveshaft (i got one for sale)

deleteplates (I got some for sale too)

gears if you have 3.31 rear

tuner

fuel system upgrades,

I've seen a couple site have intake and tuner packages, basically a good idea to pick up one of them? (they go for around $599-$699 from what I've seen, which would be the ideal one to pick up?).

As fr regency. The supercharger is more of a dream then anything (it's a matter of me saving up $5000+ to buy one in the first place lol), so I'm looking more to immediate performance upgrades that will give me a power boost. Right now I am looking more towards the intake, tuner, and suspension (I also plan on getting new rims/tires this summer, as the ones I have I don't care for all that much). I'm just looking for other relatively cheap things to get for it.

Alot of people underestimate the gains to be had with a driveshaft. atleast 10rwhp and .2-.3 seconds off your quartermile times guaranteed, unless you a "really" bad driver

if you have access to a lift or some high jacks, it makes it go by soooo much faster, all you have to be able to do it turn a wrench, prefrably a air drill to make it even easier
