What mods should I do next?

Ok currently, I have a 4 lb. lower crank pulley, ngk tr6's, SCT X-Cal II, JLP intake, Bassani exhaust with X-Pipe, rebuilt transmission, shift kit, new gear ratio, and rebuilt rear end, (and a new steel diveshaft) which is not really a mod...

I don't want to spend a whole lot of money, and I still want my truck to be safe and reliable for everyday driving, because its my DD... but I was thinking of getting a real dyno tune (and getting my X-Cal reprogrammed), or maybe a new throttle body (Accufab style) or a new upper intake plenum (C&L style), or a new blower pulley, like a 2.76?

What do all of u guys think I should do next?

I recomend the dyno tune, for sure but after your mods are on... the accufab single blade 132mm throttle body is supposed to a good mod, you mentioned exhaust but does that include headers and high flowcats???

I'd do a C&L intake tube, an accufab throttle body (single blade) and then a real dyno tune and see how you like it just my $0.02

The C*L and the Accufab arent' really bang-for-buck mods. Definitely get a dyno tune. Your next best power mod would be a ported blower. Lower IATs, more power etc etc... Relatively light on the wallet too.

Ok so a dyno tune for sure...
and the C&L and Acuufab are not worth it right?

How much for a port and dyno tune?
Will my truck still be safe and reliable with out having to build up the motor to handle the port?

Im looking not to spend that much money?
So any advice would be greatly appreciated....
