What mods should I get??

I have an 08 ls3 c6. Right now the only mods that I have right now is a vararam intake and borla stinger. I don't know crap about car or what I should get. My cousin works at a car shop and he said he'd help me put whatever mods I want on the car. He said I should just get headers and a cam and I'd be more than happy. My question is what mods would you get if you had 4-5k to spend?

Like I said, I don't know crap so any input is welcome!!!

I'd like the most bang for my buck too. I'm almost wondering if I should just save a bit more and get a supercharger?

All thoughts and ideas are welcome!!!

However, if 4-5K is the budget, I would save a bit and do headers and a tune, to start.

I vote supercharger! I just got my ride back from getting a supercharger installed (A&A) and have no buyer's remorse whatsoever!!! Time to get some new tires and pray for nice weather.

If I went with a supercharger would I still need headers (or other mods). Or is the supercharger the only thing I would need?

You can put a s/c on w/o headers and have 500 RWHP, maybe as much as 550 RWHP, up form about 380 RWHP now. 500 RWHP is the top end that can be achieved with headers + cam. If you want to get to 600 RWHP, you'll want headers plus the S/C.

Centri kits are in the low $5k range, but you'll need a tune, so I'd suggest that $6k is a safer budget assumption.
