Need tuning/bolt on advice

Want to start pepping up my V6. I am pretty handy around cars but don't know a ton about new cars and what I should be looking for. Was wanting some suggestions on throttle bodies, ported manifolds, exhaust (was looking at Corsa (SP) awhile back) tuning, etc etc. Any advice and suggestions on where to purchase. I am buying the CAI and the scoop.

Checkout Jacfab for there ported intake manifold and intake spacers. Overkill has a 80 mm TB and the tune that everybody is raving about. V-MAXX has a stock ported throttlebody. The Overkill tune comes with data logging and free retunes if you up grade your setup. Check out the ARH thread for exhaust advice.

Thanks so much. If I were doing things in stages (because of finances) what mods should be first? What order of installation

Depends on your budget and what your looking to do. The cai is a good start. The vmaxx TB would work good with that, and after you send your stock TB back to them ,you get Your core deposit back and the cost is just 150, it will add about 5 rwhp. Just what are your goals ? And your budget?

If you want a bunch of power, go forced induction. If you want 25-50 hp go with a 93 tune or e85 tune

Supercharged, about 6k+. Turbo,single 6500+. Twin turbo, 8k. Overkill tune,500,+E-85 option add 200 more, 700 total. All the FI options require additional tuning.

Shit I can't afford a scratch off for now lol. Gf getting a raise (becoming a full time teacher from a TA position) so bills will be easy after this month. Just no money for projects

Seriously the only things that gave me any big jump in hp was my tune to 93 with an intake and then my retune to e85. Everything else just made it sound louder or get maybe 1hp. Everything else does round it out and make it go faster and sound better
