another vote for cam gears here... save the throttle body until your car is a bit more heavily modified.
The variances in the stock cam gears give a variance on performance in the 5-15HP range.. so being able to tune your camgears will allow you to free up what the factory variance gives you.
In fact, you'll probably free up more HP and TQ with camgears than with a CAI or exhaust. (and if you have either, being able to tune your camgears to the properties of the CAI or exhaust is handy).
The only problem with camgears is that you're going to need a dyno...and the hourly rates for these things is crazy....
on a side note, I may be setting up a dyno tune day when I get my SCT (not ordered yet)... it will only be for about 3 cars, since you'd be able to do a run, take the car off, and take some time to tweak your tune while the other cars take their turns on the dyno..might cut costs a bit... otherwise I fully expect to spend a full day at a dyno..
