Default I just picked up an 09 V and want recommendations on a few mods

I don't want to get crazy with this car but am thinking of some simple bolt ons. Whats available?

Which CAI does everyone recommend?
Should i do a pulley?
Who has the best tune?
Any other recommendations?

Thanks for your time guys!

Manual or auto? I'd say if you got the manual get the W4M tune since it will tune the tranny as well and makes a nice difference. I'd also get his CAI since it is very reasonable and works well. I have these mods and the car really woke up. 95 degree days with the AC on and it still pulls good.
I'm getting the pulley next. Probably within 60 days as summer comes to and end and the track ready weather appears!
