my vote goes 1 to some gears, or 2 the UDP's.
If you can spend the extra $$$ LT headers with a mid(x or h) pipe would be sweet.
I cant say from personal experience on the TB, but i have heard nothing but negative about any of them.
What would be sweet is if you had the pulleys and gears installed at the same time. Im sure you would be more tha happy with the results. In my experiences modding cars, having everything put on at the same time gives you the most satisfaction.
If someone did a LT setup with a CAI, pulleys, and gears all at the same time with a custom dyno tune, they wouldn't beleive how much of a difference they really make together.

1. delete plates
2. driveshaft
3. gears
4. longtubes
* just throw the pulleys in there wherever you want, just because they're "relatively" cheap. All 4 of those above mods help more.
Until I did the mods, I had NO CLUE how much delete plates & a driveshaft would help my car. After I did them, I wish I'd have done them MUCH SOONER. ALOT of people SERIOUSLY underestimate the gains of delete plates & aluminum driveshafts on these cars.
forget the throttle body until much further down the road. The stock throttle body is just not a restriction at all at this stage.

Thanks for the advice! Still wondering though what exactly delete plates are and how they help.
Charge Motion plates are located between our intake & our heads. Each runner has a butterfly in it. At a certain rpm (or tps voltage, I'm not sure), these butterflies open up. There purpose is for emissions and fuel tumble mixture at low rpms/low speeds. Even at wide open, the shaft that these butterflies are rived to is a restriction and causes turbulence.
Charge Motion Delete plates completely remove these butterflies and the shaft that they are riveted to. You're basically bolting in a dummy plate that has never had the shaft or butterflies installed to begin with.
For under $100, it's a VERY great mod. Even if it's your first time installing these, the job can be done in 1 hour tops. If you get a tune from a reputable tuner, you will NOT lose any low end power. Also, I did not lose ANY gas mileage either. I'm sure if you put a sniffer on it, the idle emissions would *probably* be higher, but you can't smell anything. The difference is negligible as to what we can see, although probably a small tolerance for a manufacturer like Ford to meet CAFE standards.

Delete plates are $100. Took about 1 hr. to install, one of the best bolt-ons I have done. Very good SOTP feel, but you will need a tune afterwords.

if the tune's right, you'll get power gains from low end to top end... just all over the powerband, but ESPECIALLY up top.
