Default Want to add more bolt ons but where do i start

Okay guys, looking at doing a couple of things to my car before I get it retuned, car runs way too rich at idle. As of now, I just added a new kn cald air intake setup. I made 402rwhp with a ms4 cam and longtubes, magnaflow catback, ls6 intake, stock air box. Now can I do bigger injectors, throttle body, will that helo me gain some power. Don't want to do a head swap or anything, any more bolt on performance I can do before I get it tuned. Also, is it worth it to get aftermarket fuel rails??

Lid, ram air, and UDP would help

its got a centerforce clutch in it, built t56 by tranzilla to hold up to 650ftlbs of torque. Tick performance master cylinder. Was going to do the fast intake but I have the ls6 intake and I really needed a drag setup for the car and bought new racestar rims so just looking to see what else I can do that was a little cheaper then a 800 dollar intake

This. I always recommend ATI for the pulley. Ram air make your own or buy a Chris1313. Myself have a sux2bu style that is really nice! Which I would sell if intrested.

^^This (+TB bypass and cutout will get you another 10 rwhp). Other that that sounds like you've done all the motor/power bolt-ons. Weight reduction, if you are looking for faster track times (every 10# = .01 sec).

I have a cutout already so that helps me too. What about the new holley midrise intake? will a aftermarket throttle body help me also? Going to do the tb bypass this week.

BTR sells those underdrive pullies. What ignition wires you running ? Those firecore 50 wires are really awesome.

Edit: Is your TB ported? Bump stop mod?

didn't own it when it was tuned. Just see a lot of guys having bigger injectors with setups like mine but don't know if I need it. Depending on how much I get back on my tax return deff gunna look into a a fast 102 intake and throttle body but that's about it then get it tuned.
