Default Bolt ons?

I'm looking for some ideas on what bolt ons I should buy next. I got 3.73's in the rear, a CAI, exhaust and that's pretty much it. I read on here that a throttle body is a waste of money, especially right now. I was thinking MAF but I don't know how much that would help. I'm talking about simple stuff, not intake, heads, etc. Anything people?

Just gimme ideas of anything.

Pulleys and one of them turbonators JK dont buy one of them. IMO thought, I would go a upper and lower manifold. They arent that hard to do and can be done in a very short amount of time.

Yea, a nice set of subframe connectors should be your first suspension mod. There are alot of good companies out there who supply them and they are cheap. Ex: I believe Kenny Browns subframes are $120? Something like that. And they will make a huge difference in your car.

Pulleys are good. There's nothing wrong with a throttle body and mass air meter, contrary to what you heard. After that go for an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and have a performance shop tune it. Then you're looking forwards towards an intake manifold and heads. That's when things get REAL fun

I should mention, there's nothing wrong with a dry 75 shot of NOS either. Safe an effective, and no fuel upgrades necessary.
