I just mean a hand heald tuner. You dont need a custom tune untill you do alot more mods.

Ya, but you get to keep the hand held tuner, rather than paying the price for a tune each and every time you make a mod to the car. I use a Sniper and like it infinitely better than the Diablo I used to have.

How many miles are on the car ? If your rear suspension is worn out it can really make the car feel horible off the line. If you are over 70,000 miles I'd say you need new lower control arms or at least new bushings. Consider inspecting all of your rear suspension bushings and seeing what needs replacing. Geting the rear to hook right will make what you have feel a lot better and help the potential power output of other mods reach the ground.
Aluminum flywheel is great but it requires removal of the trans to install. Consider an aluminum drive shaft now, maybe do the flywheel when you need a new clutch.

On the intake side; If you have a centrifigul blower in your future, the BBK 78 mm throttle plenum is a good purchase along with some Steeda Underdrive Pullies. If a Roots (Kenne Bell) type blower is in your best bet would be an Accufab or comparable throttle body only.
Aluminum Driveshaft, 3.73/3.93/4.10 gears (do your own research), and a billet steel flywheel (aluminum flywheels have been disproved on multiple forums for most normal applications up to around 800 hp) will all add more acceleration feel, but the throttle body and tune are the two most obvious feeling through the gas pedal mods.

the stock airbox/air silencer assembly seems to put a little lag on throttle response imo. CAI's with exposed filters seem to compensate nicely for this.. Also, there is a way you can take up the slack on your gas pedal...which helps get rid of that "mushy" feel and ensures WOT. Mustangworld - 99 - 00 Gas Pedal Adjustment tip

Be careful if you're considering a "tune" through a hand-held or other means. These typically bump timing and when you're S/Cd, you need to be very, very careful about how much timing you're adding since detonation might be just a degree or two away. I find the KB tune on mine is very conservative (fat) on fuel and spark advance and I'm just fine with the slightly slower throttle response for the added protection it gives.
Opening up the intake side is always a good thing with positive-displacement blowers. If you're really serious about throttle response you might also consider a lightened-flywheel...
I recommend gears and aluminum driveshaft for the most noticeable seat of the pants off the line acceleration. No other mods outside of a blower will be as noticeable.
Without gears, most other mods are almost worthless.
