Default What to do, what to do?

Ok, say you have a car that has a relatively stock motor (the exhaust has been replaced and the intake has been replaced) what would be a good next step, or steps?

A tune roller rockers and springs would be on the short list of things to do next.

Yep, if you already have the bolt-ons, your next step is a Stall if your an A4, Gears, or Cam. You also might wanna think suspension if you wanna get the power to the ground. You can have tons of power, but it's not going to matter on the track unless your getting traction. A good start is Subframe Connectors... then you can work your way up to Springs/Shocks, LCA's, Panhard etc. It all depends on what your shooting for, what you have, and how much you have to spend. Good Luck :-).

Just seeing if there are any more opinions out there, I know there has to be a few.

You said exhaust like LTs, ORY, and a good cat bak? and the intake like a bigger Throttle body? and CAI or Ram Air?

Then I would go with either a new cam and springs and rockers. Maybe a MSD box,

I think once you get the basic bolt ons on the engine you should move to the suspension, then braking, then finally rims and paint.
But if your like me you never get to the rims and paint, because some other little gem in Car Craft or High Performance Pontiac or even Summit catches my eye and I waste all my money hahahaahaha

I'm sure I'd be happy with bolt-ons for a while, so handling would probably be the next step.
