Default 250 dollars to spend.

OK guys I will have 250 dollars to spend by the middle of August. I have a few things I want to look into getting. I recently had 3.73s installed. I want to go one of 3 routes on my next mod. Power,traction or smoothness.

Power: underdrive pulleys
I know it is a solid gain although not much every little bit helps.
Traction: LCA.
I need to hook up better off the line since first gear spins now.
Smoothness: Aluminum Driveshaft
It takes some weight out but I have heard the main gain is in
the loss of vibration.
So what you think?

SOme people like the ud pulleys i think there a waste. All they did for me was make my car charge like **** lol. When i sit at a light my lights dim til i hit the gas than they worked perrfect again. I dont know much about the al driveshaft.

The lcas are a great choice. Thats what i would do. Its by far the best choice out of the ones you posted. Go with some HD MM LCAs you wont be dissappointed i promise. After that i would go with MM SFCs.

I am getting SFC and shocks this month already. I cannot wait. I already have ford c lowering springs and polyurethane isolators so next month LCA sound great. Also guys I am not certain but will my car lose any weight with these mods or not? I know SFC will obviously add weight.
