NSR Cams would be nice you can go with FRPP Hot Rod Cams, or Detroit Rocker cams or Comp Cams XFI Stage 1 or Stage 2 cams (depends on what gears you have 3.73s or higher the stage 2 cams would be the better bet in my opinion) or Mother Thumper cams but they are mostly for sound from what I hear. That may be about$ 800 max usually for the cams and a decent set of Long Tubes can range from around $700-1500. Obviously get your tune redone and I would suggest getting a Dyno tune to get the most out of your setup

i know they won't make your car sound better but as far as beefing it up and making it faster from what I've read getting new gears is the best thing you can do

Was looking at bbr stage 1 cams

 

[ford20]

BBR does make some pretty good products. I know a bunch of people who run their cams and tunes and from what I hear John is a pretty good guy

 

[nycitaliano9]

so many options dont know what to do

cams are fun, always worth it....just make sure if you plan on boost or spray later you choose the right one

dont do cams 2x

Shoot a call over to steve or john at bbr, they will send you in the right direction. IIRC their stage 2 work better with 3.73s or higher

was also looking at hot rod cam

What year is your car. I had an 04 Gt and i put stage 1 Crower cams in it. I had more power up top but overall i was not very happy. In hindsight I wish I had gone with the stage 2 cams.

hot rod cams sound awesome but make no power. bbr cams or comp cams will give you the most power but wont sound as "lopey" as the hot rod cams.

weather you go with long tubes or cams though unless your going to to the install yourself its going to cost more than 1200$

gears are a great way to make your car feel faster and fit within your budget

I'm also gonna throw in another vote here for new gears. Unfortunately they don't improve sound but it is probably the cheapest and quickest way to add a crapload of power.
