Don't do a tune unless you have mods like headers or something. I would go with a CAI!

u missunderstood...i already have headers, cai, and a tune on my car...those were all done in 2012, but i just bought lowering springs, the strut bar, and im also doing the window tint in 6 days when i return from afghanistan.

the guestion is, for around 500 maybe a lil more (depending on the mod) what should i do?

90% of the time i trust myself on the install so just for price of part...if it inturn results in me having to spend more on something else its not a requestable item lol

for example i could buy and install 3.91 gears (really want them) but id have to get a tune which would end up costing more than my expected budget...so as long as i dont have to do something like that then im fine.

Honestly I'd probably go with an appearance mod of some sort since you have good performance & suspension stuff done already.

its auto, its comes with alot of special stitching, and custom badging so i dont really wanna take away from that...i dont mind doing exterior mods and performance mods but im tryna make everything a little more dedicated to the 45th styling...like the lowering springs are red (matches with the red, white, blue camaro theme) the tower strut is gonna be painted victory red and my buddy is gonna lazer engrave words across it...but im tryna do alot of apperaiance mods for flash and pazaz

Are you looking for performance or appearance or just a mod in general? performance I would go with a short shifter kit from one of the vendors here. appearance is tough since you have the 45th do you like Led taillights? there are some cool ones of those or you could get yourself some led side markers other than that im not to sure.

well im mainly looking for appearance because when i come home at the end of this deployment im CNC porting my heads (stage 3), doin a custom grind cam, LS3 conversion, 3200 stall, 3.91 gears, and supporting suppension mods...so i should be looking at right over 500rwhp and some good 1/4 times... so i need to look good for that much power lol, and after the power mods im doin ZL1 bumper, Razzi rockers, Havoc Deffuser, Havoc spoiler, and a new hood (still deciding)

THEN COMES THE SUPERCHARGER!!!

I was going to recommend a speed shift kit like above but since it is an auto...oh well. For appearance I would recommend something from Oracle for lighting...really cool stuff.
