Cheap mods are hard to come by, but there is the power wire and CAI for two. Good luck

Horsepower is not cheap man. Do the big 3 Intake, Exhaust and Tuner. The combination of all three could range you between 5 hundy and a g because there are many different options your could choose in your selection on intakes, exhaust systems and programmers.
