I'd to the mods in this order:

3.73
Fenderwell CAI
Catbacks
Long tube headers with catted H-pipe
Explorer/Cobra or Edelbrock Performer intake manifold

I would go with the following in this order:

Gears
Subframe connectors
U/D's (power and amp will help prevent low charging)
CAI (in the fender well)
Cat back
headers and H or X pipe ( done together)
Electic fan and 130 amp Alt upgrade

Those are the easies mods and dont require you to open the engine. After that its heads and intake combo

Cai isn't worth the money, just get a drop in k&n filter. They somtimes cause problems with the mass air meter
