Within a limit of $1000 JDM have suggested ..
SCT programmer w/ 2 tunes
4 lb lower pulley kit
NGK TR6 spark plugs
Oil breather cap
Phenolic spacer kit
2 " rear lowering shackles
Although, I really need an air filter too! I desperately want to here some whine!

How much power would I expect to gain from these minor modifications?

P.S. Before people start quoting rear wheel figures. Can you tell me what the stock truck gives at the rear wheels?

01-04 made 380/450 at the flywheel.
Ford underrates their performance vehicles. The Ford GT is advertised at 550hp at the flywheel, however they have dynoed more than that at the wheels.
