noticable gain for under 200

What modifications can I do to get a noticable gain of horsepower from a 3.4 for under $200?
Try to keep the mods fairly simple.

best bang for the buck, k&n air filter, you wont find any other mod this cheap and easy thatll give you that much extra getup and go.. also a chip is another easy mod.. but the best "mod" you could do, if its been awhile, give your car a full tuneup, not only will you be able to tell the difference, but your car will appreacate it too

Where the hell can you get Rapid Fires for $1.99? I paid $4.00 each for mine! I wanna start doing my plugs more often, so if there's a cheap source, please post it.

I know it was over 200, but I wanted to post some options, then had to go before i could finish it. If I had only 200 bucks i would get the Dynomax Catback for 159.99 and pay the 25 bucks to have the shop install it andput the rest into Fuel Injector cleaner and a new fuel filter.

Im sorry but I gotta disagree. I saw NO difference after I put in my K&N. I would say it is a good mod though cause you dont have to throw it away.
