Default Running out of Bolt on Mods

What should my next performance Mod be? I have a tune and filter, tires, and im getting my headers and aluminum driveshaft put on this week. What else can I do at this point? I am not getting a new rear axle until the summer time, also a CAI and UDP would be useless in my case. Whats left?

You can only go so far with power from bolt-ons. Eventually, the F/I bug may bite you; then you're looking at whole different power levels.

For handling, aftermarket springs/shocks make a nice difference.

If you want more torque, go with new gears. I recently upgraded to 4.10s and they're amazing. You won't regret it!

How easy was it to take off the rocker molding and put the new one on? I'm having to replace at least my passenger side because I took it over a curb earlier today in a parking lot and now it's all scratched up.

It was easy, as long as you are careful pulling out the black clips. Just take your time and it will be a cakewalk.
