Stock 95 gt. What are the best bang for buck upgrades??

[acdcjenjes]

I'm sure this had been asked so many times but i'm new to the forums and I have a stock 95 GT convertible and I want to add some performance upgrades. All i have so far is a bbk strut tower brace. Im running a tight budget. It would be great if you guys could tell me:
1. What the part is
2. Your experience with its performance
3. A rough price estimate
4. A link to the product if at all possible

Thanks Alot!

Whats your budget at? Some peoples tight budget is $2,000 other people its $500. With out knowing how much you can spend its hard to suggest what kind of parts to get.

Driving enjoyment = Gears... DIY for under $200, Pro install for under $500

Then Brakes

Also tell us more about the car (AODE/T5, miles, etc).

Gears
Much quicker, don't get it done by anyone unless you are sure they are good. May last guy had it 20,000 off and it clunked.
450 total

This is a GREAT point... Mine cost me $380 installed but he didn't put the proper torque in the pinion bearings (rotational torque). Wiped those, had to but all new bearings and seals ($120) then I had to preload the pinion myself and I had a gear whine for about 35k miles... still have a trace of it at ~90+ mph since I do not drive there much....

i'd go for gears, underdrive pullies, and exhaust.

there was an article in mustangs and fast fords about the top ten mods for the buck or something like that.

was like

gears,
underdrive pullies,
cold air intake,
tune up,
exhaust and stuff like that.
