Default 2002 mustang gt

I had a 1990 5.0 now I have picked up a 2002 gt with 17k on it. Question for the group. What are the low cost ways to add HP? or what are a few ways lowest to highest cost. I love the new car. I am not great with my hands so I have to have the work done.
much thanks

from what i have read, it appears that putting underdrive pulleys on
is the cheapest bang for the buck. some claim 12 hp gain for 120
bucks. some say cold air, should be the next cheap upgrade.
i haven't done either of those yet.
i put on magnaflow catbacks for $324.00 to the door. they made a
NOTICIBLE difference in power and performance, plus a little louder
than stock. i have BBK equal length headers sitting on the floor next
to me, but am waiting until it gets at least 50 degrees out to start
that job. stil have a lot of snow on the ground..

On my 2002 GT I added an Accufab Plenum and 70MM TB. Dyno showed around
a 13 rwhp gain after the installation.

Don't know what else you've done... but some 3.73 or 4.10 gears will make a
huge difference. Also, subframe connectors are very nice... keeps your car
very straight & makes it handle noticeably better.
