What should my next Mod be?

So I'm due for a new mod and was wondering what it should be. I'm thinking of either going with either BBK shorty headers(ceramic) or the BBK throttle body 85mm. There both roughly around the same price. What do you guys think?

before blindly giving you anything.. what is your endgame? what are you going for? I have similar mods on my new '13 GT. It needs nothing else. I might do a shifter later... but right now, nothing is required.

I'm looking for something that will finally put me over that 400 rwhp mark. With my mods right now I'm sitting at 397 rwhp. I just want that little extra jump lol so I figured that the shorty headers or the throttle body would do the trick. If you have any other suggestions I'm all ears!!

drive your car on a cold day, slightly more aggressive tuning.....

Um..... off road h/x pipe? 400rwhp is quite a lot of power, you realize right? With an assumed 16% drivetrain loss that's still putting you around 465 horsepower. That's a lot of power.

shifter - more accurate shifts, quicker shifting, just overall more enjoyable to drive. You dont realize how bad the stock shifter is until you upgrade

1 piece aluminum shaft - lighter, makes the car more "efficient" making use of the power you are already making. They claim 2 tenths faster in 1/4 mile which is a big difference

Old person term for "it will amount to nothing, something useless."
