Default What should I get?

I've got about $800 to spend and i've having a hard time picking some things.

1. C&L Air Intake with SCT X-Cal2 and Steeda Underdrive Pulleys

2. C&L Air Intake with SCT X-Cal2 and a Pypes offroad X/H Pipe

3. C&L Air Intake with SCT X-Cal2 and little stuff like a GT500 Chin, new fender badges and sequential taillights.

Or should I keep the money and save up for some new wheels and tires?

Feel free to suggest somethings too.

Most cheaper wheels (DD bullits, razors) are around $800-$900 for the set. Save up another $800-$900 and you'll be able to afford the tires to go with them. Wheels always come first lol.

I've been looking at either some 18" bullitts or chrome FR500's which are under $700 for the set(Around $1,500 with tires). The thing is that the throttle lag in the car is killing me, I have to get rid of it as soon as possible. But again the stock wheels completely kill the look of the car.

This would be SO much easiler if I had a few million bucks[8D]

Yes they do. The s197 looks soooo much more aggressive with some aftermarket wheels on it. The throttle lag really isn't bad to me. Of course i'm used to driving tractor trailers, and the weight lag on those is a hell of a lot worse than the mustang throttle lag lol.

Welcome to the club. The poor mans club.

Get rid of that throttle lag, the tune and CAI are worth the bucks, then save the rest for new wheels and if you change rim sizes, tires.The tune just wakes up the Stang.
