Next mod
Alright guys what do you think my next mod should be for the best performance and hp. I currently have 3:73 gears, short throw shifter, cai, and a custom tune. These are the mods I was thinking:
Long tube headers
Delete plates
Throttle body
Pulleys
What do you guys think or hit me with any suggestions and keep it somewhat affordable. Thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum!
Are you going to be taking this down the 1/4 or is this just street fun? I personally think that the 3.73's are steep enough and if you go to 4.10's then you might as well remove first gear (not really, but you get what I'm saying)
I would definitely do exhaust next. I recently did mine, and I have to say, I am extremely happy with the modification. I didn't notice any hp difference, but it is so much more fun to drive.

My opinion would be to install a GT500 throttle body with the adapter plate from Blowby Racing. That's probably my next mod...of course, you'll need a tune to adapt to it, but that should be no problem since you already have a custom tuner.
After that, exhaust.

From the research that I've done, a larger throttle body really isn't that necessary on a n/a engine. Stock it has a 55mm tb, and a gt500 tb is only 60mm so that's not a very large difference. Plus the hp to dollar ratio isn't very great either. I'm not saying that exhaust gives you all that much hp, but it does give you a noticeable difference in your car that makes you smile every time you hit the throttle.
