What to get next? Any Suggestions?

Well to start off i have an 05 Straight 8. I have injen intake with intercooler piping, turbosmart duel port BOV, boost gauge, HKS turbo Timer and a 3" Greddy Cat-Back exhaust. Any suggestions will be most appreciated. This car is my daily driver so i can't afford to drop the reliability of it by doing too crazy of things. But i'm basically looking to increase my perfomance. Cosmetics are the least of my worries, and will be something that I worry about after i'm done doing performance upgrades.


TIA
Adam

I would suggest upgrading to a stock intake box and fully-recirculating BOV for starters, then get a tuning device (flash, s-afc, xede, utec, etc.) followed by an MBC.

+2 MBC will give you a good return for the little you invest in it (or rather the little you can, some are pretty pricey).

Also look into a downpipe, hi-flow cat/test pipe, and a tuning like Warrtalon suggested.

I would go behind the glove-box on this one, get an Xede, or ECU flash, stay with the sotck airbox if not going to tune the new intake, as you will LOSE 10-12 AWHP by not tuning the new intake. the stock box is good for up to 600AWHP. you need a "vortex" which the stock box gives you. Read up on the Xede and the new stuff it will be able to do real soon. my 2c

i do plan on getting tuned with my intake, but i figured i would get that after i get cams. As far as the stock intake box, i love the spool up sound from injen intake, so I don't think i would give it up.
