The only thing I'd say to "stay away" from would be the generic tunes. Yes they can be better than the factory tune but for the $$ you could get something much more potent
I'd also suggest going with one of the name-brand, more popular handhelds so that you won't run into any problems getting a tune written/uploading it. Honestly, you can't go wrong with American Muscle's CAI/Tuner package. It's well-priced and comes with 3 custom tunes. You also get free tunes for life, so if you change something or install a new mod, tell them and they'll send you a new tune free of charge. Great company to deal with. www.americanmuscle.com
I'm not associated with them by any means lol just a loyal customer

I'd say CAI, 93 Race tune, 4.10 gear and LCAs would definitely be a good start. There's always forced induction

CAI & Tuner
Borla ATAK Exhaust
Pulleys
LCA's
4.10's
Think after these I would be able to take one down?

definitely do the CAI and Tune. Its worth the money. I got the JLT CAI and SCT Tuner from american muscle and its been a breeze with ordering, receiving and installing the parts. As mentioned before, there isnt much difference between CAIs (in terms of performance) so I went with the best priced one which was the JLT.

There are canned tunes (such as those that are written by SCT) and there are custom tunes (written by AM, Brenspeed and a few other well-respected vendors). The tune is about 80% of the CAI & tune combo power adder. Don't sweat which CAI you get, as long as it's a tune-required CAI. They're all equivalent in performance.
You can probably squeeze out a few more RWHP with a few other bolt-ons but real power will be had with an SC. If you stay NA, then your next best power adder combo after the CAI & tune are cams with LT's. The Borla or any other axle/catback system won't gain you any power, just exhaust note.
