I'm looking for the best bang for my buck mod I can get. I'm basically stock besides a CAI and I'm trying to gain as much rwhp. Any advice is helpful, thanks.

Or some sort of FI, however its not cheap.
I'm gonna say it's nitrous. Gears and a tuner can run upwards of $700-$800 and will only yeild maybe 30hp if you're crazy lucky. Nitrous can start at the same price any get you upwards of 100hp. Even with stock gears, I'm sure that would easily outpower the latter.

Get yourself a tuner and gears. Don't go nitrous yet. You want something that you pay for once and done. Sure nos will give you that power, but then you'll be paying to get your bottled filled every time you wanna feel the power. Plus nos will be even better after you get some of these few simple mods out of the way. Gears and tuner will surprise you. The tune with your CAI and gears, will probably net you about 15-30 hp, depending on fuel you use, and other variants. Go 4.10's. Best of the track/street mix.

If you get plenum you wanna get a throttle body/plenum combo. I say 70mm since ur currently n/a(meaning no FI). But honestly throttle body and plenum won't get you more then like 5-10 hp. And if u do a tb/plenum, you want the tuner to get the most power you can. Like I said before 
gears and tuner. Dont get gears without tuner. You will regret it.

4:10's and a tuner and you will be
Nothing else other than Cams will make you more happy! Cams are nice cause they just sound so badass!
Throttle body, plenum, etc is all just BS. Dont waste your money. By the time you keep wasting your money on BS like that, you could have went with a supercharger.

Well I'd personally go with the one in the link I sent you. If you get one of the more expensive ones, you're really paying for useless gadgets, IMHO. The more expensive ones do things like show your 0-60 time, estimate rwhp, and other crap lol. The one in the link I gave does all that's needed. Gives 3 preset tunes. Economic, for gas mileage, street, for upgraded power, and performance for max power. 91-93 octane is needed in this stage, but I run premium no matter what, which I suggest.
Oh and you're welcome
Also you get unlimited tunes for life from BAMA with the one I sent you. It's like all the others from AM, but at least you dont need an overly expensive tuner for free tunes.

I like the idea of the combo so I will probably end up going with that but now I'm back to asking more questions... So do I tune this **** myself or do i go somewhere to get it tuned because I don't think i would be able to do it haha..

It's real simple. When you order the combo, they ask you what upgrades you have. Like CAI, gears, etc. Then they make the tune for you. You simply download the file to your tuner via USB connector, plug the device into your car, under your steering wheel is the plug for your chip, then you just upload the new tunes. it's that easy. Whenever you get a new modification, you send them an email telling them what you got, and they will make a new set of tunes for you. It's really simple, and their quick and have great customer service.

Haha no problem man! It's alright I'm a newb with a lot of stuff as well. I'm only 18, and only know the basics of all the stuff. You have some great people on the forums though, and they're very willing to help out.
