That is an outstanding real-world list for a daily driver, unless you're after a racetrack monster and/or have an unlimited budget.

Yeah, the OP didn't give you much info to go with, or you could have got into details of how high a stall and how agressive of a cam he should get. But your list is exactly the basics and in the right priority order IMHO.

The other opinions seem to be running toward a *****-out racer, but personally I don't find something that extreme to be much fun as a DD.

On a tight budget i would say
1 airaid mit tube and good filter
2 tune
3 cat back
4 cam
5 dyno time(i know not a mod but for me its worth the money if ypu have someone to work the tune)

I like this list, but would get just a new muffler or LTHs instead of cat back.

What are you wanting ? Speed/power or looks ?

If you start of with a 6.2 /6 speed trans , then begin with a custom tune /intake /possibly exhaust .

Now you want boost ? Turbo or blower ?

The stock 6speed trans is supposed to be pretty stout with tuning I'm told .

Tell us what your starting with and your plans , lots of ways to go.
