Right now I have 4inch exhaust tripple gauge pillar tru-cool, kwik filter ,bts valve body and superchip programer. What ya think after that.

Maybe the fuel tank mods and the CCV mod. Cheap and easy does it.

Helps get air out of the fuel. Search for the Hutch mod.

Cheap mods:
-CCV - keeps the intercooler boots clean
-HPX - high pressure oil crossover line, get the stainless steel one, engine idles a bit smoother and quieter
-Hutch - removes the mixing chamber from inside the tank
-Pre-pump - Replace the quick connect fuel lines with regular fuel lines to prevent sucking in air
-Harpoon - dunno if you really need this since you have an aux tank, but this allows you to completely fill the stock tank by cutting off the pvc tubes inside the tank
Shim FPR - increase the spring tension in the fuel pressure regulator to bring the fuel pressure up to what International engines run.

More expensive mods:
-Bigger turbo
-Injectors
-Forged rods
-Pistons
-Fire rings
-Head studs
-BTS trans
-Nitrous

The best shim i found is right in your outlet switch. Cut the screw for the cover to the desired length and the end will thread into the spring for the fpr.
