Without knowing how mechanically inclined you are, or how much your budget would allow, it's almost impossible to determine what you could do yourself over a shop.

Get some underdrive pulleys.

you can do anything to your car by yourself....you are the only limit. but some factors to consider iinclude, but are not limited to....tools? aptitude? time? problem solving techniques when you run into problems....
Pick up a decent set of tools for yourself, to include jackstands. Sears usually has some good deals on basic handtools sets, but watch what you pay for...the 200 pc set may include 20 allen wrenches and 15 screwdriver tips.....Pick up some literature on your car like a haynes manual, they'll tell you how to remove most of the components on your car, install your aftermarket goodie in the reverse order...
oneof my favorties...go out to a junkyard and remove some stuff on a practice car, if you break something who cares.
As far as gears, that's the only thing I didn't do myself (time was the only factor preventing me). Pick yourself up a CAI (or make your own), and get some pullies, easy to do, good way to get into getting your hands dirty as a hobby.
Good Luck

For what you mentioned, an intoxicated monkey can do a CAI. From what you've said, I'd leave the gears to a shop unless you have a bud whose done them before.

With the help of the wise folks on here, you can get almost anything done on your car.

Welcome here and Good luck!

Yeah, start with the basics, headers, catback, CAI, Throttle body, that kind of stuff. I've been mechanically inclined my whole life (grew up on a farm) but learned Mustangs from scratch back in High school. Started by putting on an H pipe and CAI, and went from there, now I'm building nitrous kits and installing Superchargers and doing head swaps for my buddies...

Gears are really not for the ill-equipped. It's cheaper to pay the couple hundred bucks to have it done right rather than screw it up. I still stop at anything requiring machinework or gears....
