Default performance mods?

I'm getting ready to graduate with in the next week. And my dad told me after I graduate I can do whatever I want to my truck.

The truck is an 03 scab fx4 with a 5.4. Its basically stock besides for the gotts mod and I cut off the stock muffler. So what do you guys think I should do to give it a little more pep. And try to keep it under $1500.

any of these would be good, a real cold air intake, long tube headers, or shorty headers, strait through muffler, throttle body, programer ... these were all the ones i could thing of that you could do for around that much... note will probably need a tune for the long tube headers. GOOD LUCK!!!

Alright and I don't have to pay labor because I'll do all the work myself, thats what I'm going to college for so I'm already pretty handy with tools.

Sound system. Gut your cats. Bigger tires/wheels. Programmer/Tuner. Tint tails. Bigger alternator. Heavier gauge engine wires. Better battery. Bed Liner. Steam clean your engine. Full professional paint detail. Clean undercarriage and paint. So yeah a bunch of stuff you can do
