Some extra cash... Now what?

So I've done a few things to my SS/TC but am looking for more. I currently have a catless dp (more like I just hollowed the stocker out), Dejon charge piping, k&n drop-in, tuned with hp tuners for about 20-21 psi (can't get anymore with hpt) putting down 287/310. I tinted the windows, tinted tails and put on some nitto nt555's.

I am so indecisive on what to do next... Budget is about $450-$500. I WAS going to save up and invest in a laptop, hp tuners and wideband kit to learn how to tune and such. But I'm kinda eager to do more to the car right now...

So what's next? BYT tune? K&N sri? Engine mounts? I've changed my mind so many times. I could use some input on this. I guess what I'm most interested in is as much power as possible which leans me towards a different tune... Eventually I hope to install zzp's turbo upgrade kit, but that's much further down the road.

What would you do?

TIA!
-John

Trifecta tune, and trans mounts is what I would do with that budget.

get a real downpipe, you dont need a wideband. just get hpt pro, our cars come with a factory wideband. BYT does good tunes.

YES...get the OTTP rotated mount (stage 1 in your case). Best bang for the buck. $150 for stage 1. Makes a HUGE difference in wheel hop and stabilty in general.

To make that even more appealing, we can get you the trifecta tune that can be modified in HPT, so if you wanted to work on it yourself or go see BYT down the road, you could.

if you are going to keep the car for a while, i would buy hp tuners. the standard one, you
don't need pro for the tc's.

I'd get a catless dp from ZZP, K&N SRI, and then tune from BYT

All that would be a little more then 450-500 but would be sooo worth it in the end

I think I'll do intake and trifecta+hpt tune. Seems to be the best way to go at this point.

Thanks for all your input and suggestions.
