Default 2000 bucks

2000 bucks, a stock '06 GT, and I've been bit by the modding bug. What should I do?

If you're thinking cosmetic I'd go with a nice set of wheels and tires. If you're thinking performance go with a CAI, a tuner and a new set of 4.10 gears.

You could afford exactly what I have, keeping in mind I only have a canned tune, not a custom.

Here's a list of what I've done/doing/want

CAL&Tuner = $650ish
U/D pulleys = $200ish
LT Headers,Xpipe,Highflowcats= $1100ish

Electric Waterpump (I've seen the light!) = $350ish
4.10 Gears, PLUS install = $400-500
Aluminum Driveshaft = ???
Custom Tune = $300-400

Pick and choose, these are the most basic, and easiest of drivetrain mods you'll find.

LOL, well I look at it this way, either they are knocking off banks in their spare time, or they're spending their kids inheritance money.

where does everyone keep getting 2000 dollars from....

My guess would be Income Tax Refund.

As for what to do all have given great suggestions already.

Tik_Tok where are you getting the tuner and CAI for 450???
