Yea, you can probably get a lid, full exhaust(LT's/ory), and some nice tires first. You can get away without a tune until you get a cam.

A lid REALLY helps. I had to put back the stock airbox in for some warranty work....MAN did it really kill the power. The engine felt like it was choking on something.
