What's my next step? (engine mods)

Hey guys, i have a 2008 2.2 LS coupe

I installed a CAI, 2.4 intake manifold, LSJ header and downpipe and a 2.5" Dc sports exhaust.

what should my next mod be? Should I get a tune or is there something that I'm missing? I don't have a lot of cash and I don't want to turbo or supercharge in the near future. Thanks!

Non engine mods but are you on stock struts? AM struts

If you go straight to a tune now, might as well get the 2.4l TB or try for the lsj tb at the same time as the tune.

If you plan on going fi dont get cams until the time is right -- when you have/installing fi.

2.4 tb, cams, valvetrain, P&P the block, the exhaust mani and the TB, and then one badass trifecta tune.
