Anyways I picked it up last week ( my camera is broke so havent been able to post the pics) I broke her in from Florida to San angelo TX. This is a small town so very limited on auto performance shops. My question is what is the best overall cai and tune combo. Also I have been hearing mixed things about the 4.10 gears people were saying 3.73 is better. Hoping you guys can put ur 2 cents in. PLease help I really want to order my cai.

Welcome to the forum. The first mods should be a tune and intake. I'd recommend getting a custom tuned Xcal3 from a place like VMPTuning.com and an intake like a C&L or JLT. Personally, I think 3.73s are perfect if you want to go forced induction and 4.10s are perfect if you want to stay N/A.

Congratulations! As for mods, check out "brenspeed.com" for all your needs. They have been awesome to deal with and they did an incredible job on the couple different tunes I have had done. The first one was an SCT tuner, C&L Street intake, and Steeda underdrive pullies. These were worth 23 rwhp and a HUGE improvement in throttle response and shift quality.

Good luck!
Brandon
