do you not want to do gears, what is your budget, how fast do you want to go?

An actual CAI instead of just a K&N filter and then some 1.6rr's. Maybe a cam if the budget will allow it.

I would either do some suspension stuff or a rear end. If you add more power with the M6 the 10 bolt might decide it doesn't like you anymore.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. With the already in place mods, that's going to be worth more than the usual 7-12 HP.

Chris I would probably do full CAI, I am doing CAI, gears, and then onto head/cam hopefully this summer. I would suggest like I said full CAI, 4.10 gears, and some 1.6rr's if your budget can allow it.
