What First?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to get your input before I pull the trigger on some performance parts for my car. What would you get first?

I want to get these parts:
-JB3
-AA BOV
-aFe DCI

Thanks,
Calvin

My 2 cents:

Tune first (JB3 or PROcede, not getting into which one but search and ask people who have each). If I were to get a bov, it would be the synapse: it is piston based and holds/lets out boost better than any spring based system out there which is basically what every other brand is. You could get the synapse charge pipe or get ER to make a charge pipe with a flange for the synapse bov.

Pickup a JB3 and then a BMS DCI.

AFE DCI is a waste of money - unless of course you want your engine bay to look a little prettier.

I don't think you need anymore input. We all know what everyone's going to say.

FMIC. What good is power if you can't use it any longer than it takes to complete a dyno?

Synapse FTW, trying to get that product in our portfolio, it's a great design.

ETA: think you should get Jb3/DCI first though
