It really depends on how much money you want to spend. I assume that you want to keep it cheap. Check out a Cold air intake with a perfromance tune. You will need to buy a tuner as well. I think Brenspeed.com offers this.

only free mods is to reduce body weight and take out that air restrictor (but you already have a CAI).

check this link for ideas on mods to do and how much money it will require. also, ask a lot of questions to current members about different brands and results b/c i am sure that b/t all of us, every mod for the new GT's has been purchased. that is one advantage you have that we that got started really early never had.

good luck with everything

As for performance parts, look at some of the ads on this site, or check out Mustang car magazines. They're full of performance ads. The new Stang has a good 8.8 rear, and it's not known as weak. As for the stock shifter, it's feces, so get a Steeda Tri Ax, [expensive but very good] or a Hurst. You didn't mention if you had a performance tune, but either a Predator or SCT will add noticeable ponies. Welcome to our world.
