LTs, ORY, free mods, now what? I've never seen the track, and have my nights of "spirited driving." I've done the mentioned LTs, ORY, and Magnaflow CB. Also some of the free mods. My car is not tuned, so should a tune be in order as the next mod? It's a 2000 Trans Am, and all the emissions are tuned out, no problems with the o2s.
How can I maximize my tune? Should I drop in a lower thermostat, throw on a crank pulley, and a bigger throttle body, or just leave it as is? Will a tune out-perform a shift kit for my A4? Or will the shift kit be simply amazing as is? I have done some researching on the site and found a few things, but nothing too satisfying about a shift kit. I want to keep to bolt-ons only, so no heads/cam/stall/rear-end at this time. Thanks guys.

you really need to get it tuned since the lt's. a bigger tb is not needed but you could get it ported for more power. if you do a stat make sure to do it before the tune so the fans can be reprogrammed to come on when needed.

I was in the same boat as you a few months back. You need an LS6 intake & ported TB for sure. After that, decide if you want to go any further or if you're done for a while. If you're done, get a tune & be happy.
That said, if you can swing a GOOD stall converter, DO IT! My SS3200 was by far the best performance mod I've done to my car yet, by a long shot.
