Default Next best Mods???

Hey all. Anyone have suggestions on the next best mod for my 01 GT. I've heard mixed comments about plenum and throttle body. Don't want to supercharge yet. Wanting to keep Naturally Asperated for now and keep cost down. I was also wondering how much H.P. can get from a Diablo Predator Tune?

- 01 GT Mineral Grey
- Steeda Trix ax
- Steeda Underdrive pulleys
- Mac Intake
- Mac Long tube headers
- Mac Catback
- Mac Offroad H-pipe
- 3.73 Gears
- FRPP Caster/Camber plates
- Sub frame connectors
- Toyo Proxes Tires

Any comment or suggestions would be appreciated.

Go with an SCT xcal 2 with the 2 step box. Will cost about 400 bucks. If your car hasnt ever been tuned you should see at least 20 hp from it.

Either get a SCT tuner, or get a 10.5" rear wheel with some DRs.

If you are looking for a cheap bolton to pick up a few horsepower I would look into getting a upper plenum, and maybe a t/b to go along with it.

Other than that, look into getting a tune. You have pretty much maxed out boltons, so the next step is either FI/nitrous or cams.

You could also look into some suspesion stuff.
