dyno tune will run you right at 500, and if youre stock there is no point unless you had some other mods done.

Wouldn't hurt but definetely not required. I got my SCT chip and dyno tune for $375. Obviously its going to vary from state to state though. I would also recommend gears, 4.10's especially if u have an auto. If I didn't do so much freeway driving I would have them but when I get the money I'm still going to put them in anyway.

i got a dyno tune when I got my gears. For everything, gears, chip, burn, install, & dyno tune was almost $1K.

Gears, catback, 70mm tb, pulleys, o/r x, and a chip. I did the wet kit and sprayed a 100 shot all the time and my car was ok. Highly recommended is a window switch. With that you should be all set. I'm sure you could spray on a stock GT, cause mine just had minor bolt on's at the time. Just get a nitrous tune.

4.10s

Also you would need to get the speedo recalibrated though, so that would exceed $500.

Gears will cost you more thatn $500. The gears them selves are cheap ($150), but between the install cost ($300) and the speedo compensator ($100) it is going to be expensive. Not to mention, now you have to deal with the fact that your tires will not be able to give you enough traction. The extra torque from the gears will make it had not to smoke the tires in first and second gear.

My suggestion would be:
1) Underdrive pulleys (UPR $110 or Steeda $200)
2) Timing adjuster (MAC $95 or Steeda $120)
3) Short Throw Shifter (UPR $100, Steeda $180, Poo5.0 $160, or MGW $180)
4) Lower Control Arms (Steeda $180, UPR $130, or PRO3i $165)

If you go with the cheaper brands (at the sacrifice of quality) you can get all of the above for around
$110+$95+$100+$130=$435
