What would give me the biggest smile? Should i finish my suspension upgrades? Driveshaft? Headers? Wider wheels? It's blowing my mind! I just wish i had this problem more often.

So please help me out! (Current mods on sig)
Biggest smile, the 4.10 gears.

Had mine installed parts & labor $500.

And you still have a grand left!

+1 to the gears but if you go FI later on wouldnt you not want an aluminum Driveshaft?

Here's the slice folks... you either keep your car stock and just FI, retaining "driveability" or try to get 350whp out of it n/a, giving up all forms of a daily driver.

I'm getting to that point.

Out of all the money I've spent on the car, could have had a supercharger. Save your money....

Where I'm from, costs $5,500-$7,000 for supercharger installed.

Still say S/C. I wouldn't have spent a penny on my car until I had it s/c after the trial/tribulations and other crap I've endured. Save your money for a s/c.

On your "way" to supercharger, exhaust (LT headers), driveshaft and tune aren't bad mods. I can only suggest those...

Driver comfort mods are great too. MGW shifter/Royal Purple Synchromax fluid is one I would highly recommend.
