Default Extra Hp?

Just got a 90' 5.0, 5 speed, 8ft, single cab, xlt lariat

Other than a basic tune-up what other "basic" things could I do to it to get a few extra HP?

also... it only has a muffler on it and im just planning on keeping it like that. Im not looking to put headers on it...

not looking to spend more than $100 on this... just something im looking to spend a few bucks on...

Timing bump, brass distributor cap, brass rotor, ignition coil, new plugs, wires, Spectre or K&N air filter, new fuel filter.

Basically take care of any overdue/overlooked maintenance.
