Default Next Step Question

Hello all, rather new to the Corvette scene but do have a 2008 Coupe manual trans. Looking to do some performance upgrades before the dyno tune.

I have LG street long tube headers with high flow cats
Corsa Xtreme axile back
Vararam snake charmer CAI
160 degree thermosat

What else should I do before the dyno tune.
Not really looking for internals yet, still under warranty
Any help would be appriciated

You could do a ported intake manifold, but I'd probably just tune it as it.

I thought of that, but was unsure of the actual gain in relation to the cost ?

gains on the LS3 aren't huge for a bolt-on car, but its not real expensive if you do the install yourself. If budget is an issue, I'd save the money for use later on a cam or other mod.
