You're asking the wrong people how to budget, LOL!
Mike (amustangrocks) is a mod addict, and so am I. You'll be sleeping in the fastest Mustang in town if you listen to us!
That tuner is an easy 18-20HP gain, throttle response will be night/day difference, gas mileage will pick up a bit, free tune updates for life with Bama, etc.. There are a ton of pros to adding a tuner, and there's no question whether or not you'll see an immediate before and after. If you have any questions about it now or even if you decide to pick it up in the future, let me know! Our Bama Tuning specialists are here in the building Monday-Friday from 9AM-5:30PM EST and can answer any questions, walk you through the process, etc. You can also shoot me over a PM at any time and I'll be here!

Just do it! I was a week away from buying my tuner and CAI before I got t-boned in my driver side door. It was a sad night. I'm just a few months out from doing it again! Love my 6 banger!

My problem is I work on the coolest Mustangs around all day long. Mine just seems so depressing in comparison! I need to just supercharge it and call it a day!

sometimes you just gotta live a little
all in all, ok. nice to see ya here on tms. you wrote my first tune years ago that changed my car forever and really kick started my addiction, i dont hold that against you,lol. still wish i had a gt but this V6 car is still a blast 
and ya, a few mpg increase is common with the tuner and a good bama tune once (if) you get back to where you can drive "normal" again
