I think this is something that everyone wants to know, and with a little searching can be found easily. Also, whats cheap for your wallet may be different than mine. I did a CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, Corvette trans servo, and Efan conversion. I noticed a nice performance increase and another 2 MPG. That all cost me around $550 - $600. I am waiting for my tune from Blackbear at the moment, but I know that will be a HUGE increase in performance, and that would cost you another $300 or so. Hope this helps.

Not sure exactly how much performance you'll get but the swiss cheese mod is virtually free. There's also the seafoam treatment, if you haven't done it already. Don't know if you consider these next few mods but there's Throttle body cleaning. And then just your basic maintenance stuff, if not already done, plugs, wires, filter... Those are the cheapest I can think of right now.

We use factory TB, MAF, coilpacks and wires as well as many other things on MANNNYYY 1000+ RWHP cars and trucks.

Biggest thing to remember is that you get what you pay for. That said, there are very few things you can do without getting into high dollars. That will also depend on what you are wanting to accomplish.

Research alot, be honest with your self about goals and wants, spend wisely.
