Default $1500, what to do??

So I am deployed right now, but when I get back to the statesI think I will put about $1500 into the stang.

Right now it has full exaust with long tubes/SLPs mufflers, Mac CAI w/Diablo tuner, 4.10 gears...

I am think about an aluminum drive shaft, a pro 5.0 shifter, and a throttle body. I would like Heads and cams, but thats too much green.

What do you guys think? Will that help my combo out? Thanks.

I have Mac LTs, but they are more like 3/4 length, they are not as long as some companies. I have the Loudmouths, they are awesome! I had the Mac mufflers, they were not quite loud enough...

I also would go with the DS. It's below your budget and will give you 2 10th's at the track. Stay away from the TB. Or just save your money a little while longer and get blown.

I will own this car for a while, so I am not in a hurry to pay it off. I would rather make it a bit faster. I know it sounds silly, but...

Is there anyone with issues with the Throttle Body? I believe I did hear of someone with an issue before...

Get suspension mods or a body kit.
