Ford Mustang

What should be the first modification to my 1989 ford mustang?
i just purchased a 1989 ford mustang and i am looking to make a first modification to it. i am looking for something fairly easy that i can do myself that i can do with normal tools. it already has bbk headers, bbk throttle body, bbk tb spacer, cold air intake, and pipes. So what can i now do to it that is fairly easy to do that will be on the cheaper side?
Couple different ways to tackle this question. Easiest biggest mod you could do yourself would be a Nitrous oxide kit. Biggest bang for the buck and you could install it in about 4-6 hours. If you want to go the all motor way I strongly suggest 3.73 gears. You would not be able to install your self but you would notice the second biggest difference next to the bottle(NOS).
Mass air meter is an easy 5-10 horsepower I recommend C&L 73mm, Oil change to synthetics like many have sugested, K&N filter. Bump timing to 14 degrees. Almost forgot pullys.
Do not go for a dyno tune until you change atleast heads and intake and injectors. 5.0's don't pick up much more HP from a dyno tune when they are pretty close to stock.

All there sites have great info and starting points.
P.S. My experince involves a 93 convertible with a B&G turbo kit that put down 525 HP to the wheels on the stock short block.
I put down 295 NA
Good Luck
