Your best bet is to just start pouring through threads, but most start with the "big three" which consists of a CAI, cat-back exhaust and a tuner. All relatively low cost, simple installs and just a good place to start...

Welcome to the forum. 4.56 gears are a nice upgrade too.

Do a tune up and get an SCT tuner, high flow air filter.
Done.

It's a brand of tuner, it specifically runs custom written tunes. A plus if you are planning major performance modifications like heads and cam. I would recommend a Superchips tuner for an '04. It has pre-programmed "canned" tunes and doesn't require custom tuning - unless you plan on the going all the way with major modifications (heads, cam, stroker, etc.) then I'd opt for the SCT...
