Considering some modest upgrades to my new ride (2012 R/T with manual trans) and surprised there doesn't seem to be much discussion on the board unless I'm using the search function wrong (again)

For Phase one: adding long tube headers, slightly cooler thermostat and a SRT-8 6.4 active intake manifold with SRT-8 air cleaner housing. The intake is noted for adding 20-30 ft/lbs to the 5.7 lower end and the headers are a nice 25+ hp bump. The factory SRT-8 airbox is very good and have no interest in "pipe with an air filter" kit.

Looking into tuner options now, appreciate any input.

Phase two would be an upgrade to 6.1 cam and springs and having the heads cleaned up modestly.

Thoughts? No interest in a blower or upgrading engine size. Just looking to upgrade power output without killing all gas mileage with the daily driver.

Car already has muffler delete out back.

Thanks
