Default First mod

I've made some exterior mods so far, but I think I'm starting to know enough about engines to start upgrading the insides.

Any advice for the first thing i should spend my money on?

any tune and cold air intake recommendations? (i realize these can be pretty specific according to taste, but just a general idea of what everyone thinks is the best....)

+4 CAI and Tune - the Tune is the key. Make it easy on yourself and just go to brenspeed.com or bamachips.com. JLT, C&L, BBK,etc, etc.many good options.

Intake and tune, best bang for the buck mod and very easy to install. Other cheap mods you can do are short shifters and axlebacks.

i think JLT II is the cheapest for the power that it puts out. you can get the c and l, but its like 100 extra bucks pretty much for looks. go onto brenspeed and check out what they have, they got some good stuff
