drop in K&N will run ya about 40 bucks. Ignition isn't all that expensive either! 180stat,3923's, IAT relocation, better wires, all help a lil bit and their cheap. Port and polish your throttle body !? Homebrew intake!
But if ya really want the bang for your buck there is always laughing gas!
Or Sit in the passenger seat and let someone else drive ya around. It'll seem faster then!

R/T? I thought he wanted to go fast?
Drewz was right on the 180thermo, porting the TB, and the K&N.
The 4.7 has coil on plug "technology", so plug wires are out, and ignitions haven't hit the market yet.
The HO cams and intake bundle are relatively cheap, and offer respectable gains. If you have enough left in the piggy bank, go for a computer upgrade. The Kenne Bell Optimizer seems to be working well on the 4.7's. Exhaust is a good move, if done correctly.
Just search around the boards. There is a multitude of information out there. You'll have to dig your way through a lot of senseless BS posters like "yeah", but you can find what others have done to increase their performance over the last few years with the 4.7's.

Hey Notchlx,
Did your FTC-1 come with a MAP sensor, or are you using the stock one? (Does the stock sensor work under boost?)
2000 4.7 CC auto, clear corners, Magnaflow catback, Kenne Bell s/c, Aquamist water injection.

AMSOIL Boosts Horsepower
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils increase horsepower and torque, and that fact’s been made public by Corvette Fever. The September issues features a five-step program to boost the horsepower of the C5 Corvette by 40 HP. “Step four,” writes Corvette Fever, “involves a simple oil change. The Vinci Hi Performance dyno shows several free horsepower by using AMSOIL Series 2000 synthetic lubricant.” The magazine pictures Series 2000 Synthetic 20W-50 Racing Oil, the AMSOIL SDF Oil Filter and AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid.
Vinci Hi-Performance, has been modifying performance cars for over 30 years. Vinci Hi-Performance specializes in late model Corvettes, Camaros, Trans-Ams, Suburbans and Vipers.
No Matter what type of vehicle VHP performs modifications on, or what type of performance package they install, every performance package receives one group of basic ingredients: AMSOIL Series 2000 Motor Oil, AMSOIL Transmission Fluid and Gear Lube, AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filter and 2-Stage Air Filter.
Roger Vinci was a Valvoline dealer using their DuraBlend Motor Oil. Roger has always recognized the advantages of using synthetic oil in racing but always believed that synthetic oil leaked or contributed to a loss of oil pressure. The only way he would consider becoming an AMSOIL account was to prove it to himself by installing AMSOIL in his personal Corvette and running the car on the dynamometer. He installed Series 2000 0W-30 in his personal ZR-1 Corvette.
After switching to AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 and a Super Duty Oil Filter, he immediately noticed the piston slap noise was cut in half and the lifter noise was 100 percent gone. He was also very surprised by the lower oil temperature and an increase in oil pressure!
The ZR-1 was then put on the Dyno. The results: A three horse power gain over the Valvoline DuraBlend, plus another eight horsepower by switching the K&N Air Filter out for an AMSOIL 2-Stage Air Filter. That’s an extra eleven horsepower!
