Default after exhaust, what would be a good mod to install ?

I finally got my exhaust system installed. What would be a good mod to install next ? I noticed a gain in HP after having my stock crap ripped off, so now I dont feel as bad as I did about my car anymore, now I'm ready to make it into a beast. I'm thinking of adding a CAI, but I took the air silencer off of my air box. I have a chip already, and now I dont know what else to add ? any suggestions would be appreciated. I dont even have anything close to the amount it costs for a Supercharger, so I'll have to do small things.

what about pullies ? would those make a difference ? I know I still have to get an off road x-pipe to add to my exhaust setup, I still have that damn h pipe on there. anything else that would add power ? what about plugs and wires ?

well check the plugs and if they are worn then get new ones but nothing fancy maybe some nice platinums or something. replace wires if they are the stock ones, or just look worn out. pullies will help, get a good cold air intake like the one i listed will gain you 10 hp and make it sound a little louder. dont mess with the maf just yet. advance your timing to 14 degrees and you will feel that, since you dont have the h-pipe yet get shorty headers along with it and install them at the same time that will help with torque and the h-pipe will help with some more horsepower.

Depends on how soon. You can still run 4.10's with a supercharger, you just have to shift SUPER fast. LOL

you know what i was just thinking too much...your right 4.10's would be better for a supercharger and like you said you would just have to shift fast
