Hello all,
First let me apologize if I break any unwritten forum rules with improper forum etiquette. I've never joined a forum and this is obviously my first forum post.
I'd like to preface my questions with: I am no gearhead. I can do the basics and I can help on the more advanced junk, provided I'm being guided by an "expert". I recently got a 2007 Avalanche LTZ 5.3 V8. The thing is loaded and rides like a Cadillac, or Lincoln if you prefer. However, I'm looking to enhance its performance and sound. I just installed an Airaid Poweraid TBS and have noticed some extra get up.
Obviously, I'm not going to purchase and install all the performance mods at once (budget). So my question is: In your opinions, which modifications do you recommend and what order would you do each mod? CAI, tuner/programmer, catback? Assuming I would like to stay around $500 per modification, any personal preferences for each? Where should I splurge with my money, and where should I hold back? Keep in mind I'm a novice in this area so try and respond as if you're talking to your wife about the different options.
Thank you to any and all who share your wisdom!
