Default RE: Tax Time...Suggestions?

Are you talking about the stimulas package that Bush is trying to get passed? If so that's not until may. Anyways I am 20 and I have other things to take care of with my money first like credit cards[8D] But I am setting aside $300 for the car, I already got my mirrors due to one snapping off [:@]and I am getting new headlights and a HID Kit, so I guess I have $200. Anyways what can I get that will help out the most for the money? Should I just throw some super 40's on there or what? Thanks again guys.

intake spacer = paper weight dont waste your money...

aluminum driveshaft again not really one of the top things. 250$ could be spent better somewhere else.

i would use the 300$ as a start for gears + differential
I agree, I just put an aluminum driveshaft in my 5.0 and the feel is............ I mean, sure you can feel a little more boost in the reving, but nothing overly notcible, more of an effect in first and second gear than anything. Suprisingly though, I lost around 15lbs of weight from the stock to aluminum. I don't know about sixers, but the driveshafts in 5.0s are significantly heavier than stock. My aluminum shaft I could pick up with one hand and could easily chunk it, the stock, ehh..........not so easy.

Dyno proven for 6 torque and 5 hp. You are thinking of a throttle body spacer.
