Default What to mod next???

Ok I've got an '03 with a smarty, intake and full 4" exhaust, what should I do next as far modification? I've got about 230,000-240,000 miles and got a new clutch waiting to go in. Looking for mild upgrades to keep the daily driver as repayable as possible.

Yea that's what in thinking next mild like 50hp nozzles and head studs, trying to build it the right way and not just throw a bunch of crap on there and destroy my cp3 or head.

I'd definitely go with the modded lift pump first, when the stock one goes bad it has a tendency of leaving you on the side of the road. Then maybe some syn oils in the diffs, trans, and engine better fuel mileage. Then maybe an electric fan, I've heard they give a solid 1 mpg increase.

Already modified the life pump after it failed on my awhile back andi already changed the diff fluids, haven't touched the tranny yet and I'm still getting free oil changes from the dealership and already have boost and pyro gauges. But think I'll look into the electric fan tho! I'm always down for better mpg.
