Default next mod??

Ok guys. needs some info on my next mod. I am ready for some low end here. I came from a 6.0 SS and want that neck breaking low end back. any ideas? current mods in sig. don't have that much $$ to play with here. Would love a supercharger, but not sure it is in the budget yet.

Do you have a tuner? I don't see that in your sig. If not, buy one and pick up some tunes from Bamachips or Brenspeed. Yes, definitely gears, but go with 4.10s. An intake, tune, and 4.10 gears were my first mods and it felt like a whole new car.

Lastly, if you still have the stock throttle body I'd sell the BBK and put whatever you get towards a mod that will actually do something for you. You can find UDPs used for around $100, those will give you better gains than the BBK T/B.

i do need a tuner. just need the $$$. Gears are my next move i think. tho 4.10's may be too deep for every day driving, even with the 5 speed. I got the BBK at a very good deal. And it is a mod i got for future mods. I do plan on a supercharger someday. The deal was good and it is for future HP gains. I like the sounds of it too..

I would go for gears and a tune once you have the gears than some UDP's. I plan on getting gears thinking 3.73's from Brenspeed since I bought my CAI & Tune combo from them and they will give me a tune for free for the gears since I bought that combo pack before. still debating on 3.73 or 4.10 only because this is my D/D. once you have a tuner you can always use it for future mods or just to switch around from tune to tune its a great buy and REALLY wakes your car up!!!

Before you spend the money on gears, you'll need to get a tuner. You need to have the car tuned for the new gears. Besides, the CAI is only getting you a few HP, the tune is where it's at.
