Upgrades for LFX

So I have injen cold air intake and a SLP loudmouth 1 axleback. I'm looking for other mods I can do to the car with out having to spend 5k plus on a supercharger or turbo. I'm trying to keep up with my friends 2011 Mazda Speed 3 which he just got a CAI and axleback as well but looking to do Cobb tuning, and also my other friend with a 2002 Subaru WRX he is also looing to do something like Cobb tuning. So just trying to get an idea of what left I can do to my car to be able to keep up with them without spending 5k plus.

VMAX CNC ported throttle body, windshield washer relocate and scoop for maybe better air flow to your Injen, IMHO.

How much horsepower and toque will the VMAX CNC ported throttle body give? The Injen CAI relocated the windshield washer do you think I should move it somewhere else? The CAI cone is at the bottom of my left foglight do you think the scoop on the hood would still help the air flow?

I am not familiar with the Injen windshield washer mod. Pictures may help. The scoop I am talking about goes behind the lower grille.

I think the ported throttle body only adds a couple HP but it is relatively inexpensive. Also, check the other post on LFX mods as a pulley upgrade is mentioned that I am not aware of: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=339237

Here's the pic

Oh really the scoop goes behind the lower grille thats awesome! Where can I find this scoop? Ok thats cool, any horsepower gain will be nice even if it is little. Alright thanks, I'll check the link out that sounds interesting.

Apex makes a scoop. Chase from Apex is on here and helpful. He may be able to tell you if it is compatible with Injen. Thanks for pics.
