In all seriousness these guys are poking fun, but it's true. It seems you've fallen for the hp claims rather than actual hp gains. I assume you started figuring that you had 210-216hp stock....Tests have shown that the whp (hp at the wheels) is more like 175-185hp stock. Lets say your CAI/Duals/Tune actually did give you what you claim, 35-40hp at the crank, that would be more like 20-25 at the wheels. Add that to the real whp and you're still only at around 205-210whp.
But thats assuming you're actually getting those gains, I seriously doubt it personally. Especially if you're using the tune that came with the tuner.
As far as your original question.
The only cheap mod you have left really for performance is get a custom tune.(if you don't already) Performance costs an arm and a leg lol. Just the way it is. Save 5k for an X-charger if you want to see a real gain. I'm halfway there myself lol. Also suspension mods are always good...Rear axle swap...Better brakes...etc...

also it's a v6 what other ways can I sup it up without spending an arm and a leg.
