Default Next Mod?

Which should my next mod be?, I'm looking for which mod will give my the best gains or happiness(sound). By the way I already have a single axleback JBA hi-flow muffler.

Thanx ahead of time

are you an auto or a manual? in any case, i would definitely go with a CAI/tuner combo. It really makes a noticeable difference. Then next I would prolly go with gears/t-lok. good luck man.

A lot of guys on here say you should get the CAI and tune first. I'm going with duals.
Duals shouldn't cost you over $400 unless you are getting expensive Ford parts or exhaust pipes. I bought Pypes mid pipes,x-pipes clamps hangersand GT take off mufflers all for $395.

Yeah, I'm not sure of getting duals cause I already got one hi-flow JBA muffler. Love the sound but do I need to spen another $400-$500 for double the sound volume? I'm not sure, I'll probably go CAI/Tuner since everybody says they have the best gains for a couple hundread less than gears.

Bought Car 1/2 a week ago, just looked under hood and found more mods. Already have CAI. What's the best tuner to get SCT or Predator and what are there usable features, what type of gains should I see?

Thanx ahead of time!

You might want to check to see if that CAI required a tune or not. If it required a tune then it was probably already tuned and you might need to check into either getting the tuner from the last owner or getting a new tuner

I checked Air Raid CAI's don't need a tune. I'm going with a Tuner next and decided to tighten the chassis, fix a little body roll, and do a coupletraction modsnext too. Got any suggestions on the best mods for each?
I was thinking subframe connectors, GT Take-off sway bars, and Rear upper and lower control arms. Good idea? Anybody got any experience with these?

Thanx for the help!
