Welcome to this forum! What does CAI stand for? A custom tune would be a good idea to maximize performance with economy.

CAI=Cold air intake

Hmm
I would do something which will pay for itself over and over-giving better performance in the long run while working well with every future mod. It should also pay for itself with greater fuel economy.

Change all of your fluids over to amsoil synthetic. You will feel less rolling resistance.
I mean-front and rear diffy-transfer case, transmission fluid, then engine oil if you can afford it.

Save some money up and then buy a set of Torque Monster headers.
