Default SLP Installed. 2nd Mod. Now What?

Hello!
I just installed my SLP Lid.
It looks SO much better than the stock one.
I also feel a tiny bit more power when accelerating. (maybe it's just wishful thinking )

So here's the background story on how I got it.
I was driving in Brighton with my firebird just cruising around and then I see a silver trans am parked in front or a performance shop.
I decide to pull in and check it out.
I go in and tell the guy I'm interested in a Lid for my firebird.
Another employee from behind the counter asks what year my car was and it turns out he's the owner of the trans am.
I talk with him and shoot the **** about the dream cruise and stuff like that.
He said he'd sell me his old SLP lid for $75. (too much, I know)
After we agree on me picking it up tomorrow I ask if they are looking for any help around the shop.
He says they're looking for someone for the front counter and hands me an application.
So I fill it out and proceed to go home.
Today I go pick it up and we talk for a bit. Cool guys. Seems like a great shop.
Hopefully I got my foot in the door for possibly getting a job.

ANYWAYS, now what to do with the stock lid. Sell it? How much would it bring? Would it even be worth it? Or just put it in my closet incase I ever wanna take my SLP lid off?

Also, this is my second mod. My first mod was a SLP LM1 catback.
Now i'm wondering, where to go from here?
Please give me your opinions and thoughts.
Thank you!

LS6 or bbk intake, and /or 3600-4k Stall. The stall will give the biggest performance increase.

Have you done any of the free mods yet?

Yeah I'll have to agree with that!

I don't know why it didn't cross my mind; getting old I guess.

I would do a stall over headers for sure. You'll see way more gains. I wish I would have gone that route

Get a set of UMI SFC's.... HUGE bang for the buck! You wouldn't think so, but it changes a lot about the car! Same range as $$/reward as gears, IMO..
