I know there are different routes you can take when doing mods to your car, but it almost seems like in the beginning there is a logical order to things

I have already done the K&N cold air system, Flowmaster cat back exhaust, Pro 5.0 Shifter, 3.73 rear end, and a superchip programer.

my question is, whats the next step. I need to use the car as a daily driver, so nothing incredibly radical. I wasn't too interested in doing a supercharger/turbo, but wouldn't rule out a little nitrous, but I don't think I am anywhere near that point yet.

TIA

Seeing you already have a programmer you probably don't need the timing adjuster.

An aftermarket midpipe (O/R H will free up the restrictive stock pipe)

Pullies are good

Suspension mods to help in the handling department.

youve still got plenty to do!

1. Finish the exhasut- off road mid pipe, long tube headers.

2. Finish the engine- pullies, start in the actualy engine?

3. Intake- PLenum, Throttle Body, MAF

4. Supension- a lot!

Continue with the simple bolt-ons like Wills Black 98 said, then some mild suspension upgrades. If you want more, and like nitrous, go for it after the other bolt-ons.
