You can blow $5000 on N/A mods, and never be happy with the power you get out of them. IMO N/A mods (for those that are HP hungry) will never get you anywhere.

Change your final drive gears. You won't get more horsepower but your car will feel faster.

Get 4.083 gears for a faster car if you have the rev up or you should raise your limiter to get better use out of the gears if you have 6600 limit. If you have an hr which you prob do have based on the fact you stated you have AEM intakes not intake then you're set.

You'll spend alot more on boltons for meager gains which will be virtually unfelt...... Btw you prob got like 8hp with your boltons. Its just louder now.

Theres an excellent sticky thread on the 4.083 gears just do the search on them.

Besides the gear change,a plenum spacer will help.
Don't expect a big change,though.

An LS2 should give you a huge power gain.

I think the ART pipes give one of the best bolt on gains out there. Be prepared to spend in the 600 dollar area just for the pipes though. Other than that as mentioned millions of times before nothing else really gives that great of gains. There's intake manifolds/plenums and pulleys, but again minimal gains. So, I would look into ART pipes, and those gears, those are my next mods. Oh, and get an Osiris tune to finish it off. That's pretty much it my man, anything further will require a lot more $$.

by intakes does that mean you have an 07+ car?

high flow cats or test pipes and a tune are your best bets for cost effective changes. Beyond that, it gets more involved and more expensive
