next mod help

So I have the ls3 and have American racing long tube headers with borla cat back exhaust, and a cold air intake. What next? I was leaning toward a cam and tune but not sure, any ideas?

ported throttle body and a black Isolator are relatively cheap mods that can improve throttle response.

Ok, I catch your drift.

Bo White throttle body, then cam would be my next step if I was in your shoes, but I'd go completely overboard on researching best cam package.

Sorry guys it's taken so long to reply, what's the performance those mods would bring? I know throttle body would help with the air flow and add a few more horses but what about the catch can and scoop/ water tank?

Throttle body will give you better, snappier throttle response, and if you cannot do this mod, you are a danger to yourself and others.

Catch can, keeps your engine cleaner by not recycling little bits of atomized oil

Scoop and washer tank relocate- gets more cold air into your intake, and to install the scoop you need to remove or relocate the washer fluid tank.

The Isolator is for the V6 isn't it?

After market cam for power and sound. Ported throttle body and Vitesse throttle controller for better acceleration response.
