Help me decide...

I've been beating myself over the head for the past couple days and can't decide on what my next performance mod should be. I have the K&N Intake and Mac Axlebacks right now. I'm trying to figure out what would be the best decision on my next mod as far as SOTP feeling goes. I rarely have money for mods so I'm trying not to regret my next mod. I have $400 to spend and I listed a couple options below on what I was thinking. Any input would be awesome, Thanks

1. A tuner

2. LCA's and Pulley's

3.Bassani Catted X-Pipe

4. MGW Shifter

I'd go tuner. For SOTP feeling, I'd definitely go tuner (and tunes).

Pulleys, Ive had mine on for a week now, feels like it revs a little easier and quicker, plus Ive pick up almost .5 mpg. If you get them make sure sealnet is applied to the keyway and bolt washer, I had a small leak, but its all good now!

Tuner should be the first mod you do to these cars. You won't believe the difference in response.

Thanks for the responses everyone, looks like the tuner it is. Which leads me to another question who has the best tunes for the K&N intakes? Hey whats up Lee! yeah i've been on here for almost a year now haha I just never say much. I'd like to goto Carlisle i've never been there and heard great things about that show. I will certainly be trying to go

Give me a call, I'm sure that we can figure something out for you. We have a great deal on CAI/Tune packages, or CMCV delete plates and a tune. We can put together something close to your price gain that will net power, and can be used in conjunction with any future plans that you have for your vehicle. Feel free to give us a call during business hours, or even just shoot me over a PM. I will be out of the office until Tuesday, but will be answering PMs for sure.

Good Luck!

You'll definitely notice the largest power gains, from a tuner and CAI..Unless you go with long tube headers ? in which you would need a tuner anyhow.. However, all an axle back exhaust is really good for ? is provide better sound and perhaps maybe up to 5 more HP, if you're lucky
