Default 08 V6 Need some help

I have an 08 V6 and all i have worked on is the outside. Now its time to work under the hood. The only thing under my hood now is a Strut Tower Brace lol. No hp gains there. So any suggestions on what I should get first. Keep in mind that I am a college student, and only work a part time job lol.

Tune and CAI should be first, then dual exhaust. Those should give you a very noticable gain in seat of the pants feel. Then save up for gears and T-Lock to get that new found power to the ground. Later, after lots of saving get an X-Charger!

^ that covers it. get a good cai and tune combo; bama or brenspeed with a C&L or JLT intake. I like Evolution of Pennsylvania tunes the best personally, they hooked me up nicely!

In reference to a CAI/Tuner....check out bamachips.com or brenspeed.com. Both companies sell the CAI and tuner combo's. I already purchased the Airaid CAI and I am planning on getting the SCT X3 tuner w/ 3 custom tunes from Bamachips. I've read a lot of good things on the forum about Bamachips and brenspeed. The SCT tuner is typically $399 and the CAI varies in price, depending on what you decide to purchase.
Good luck with the mods!
