Default Help deciding on next mod

I've been thinking, and 3 things come to mind.

-Lowering springs. Problem: the Roush body kit would cause me to scrape a LOT.

-Longtube Headers. Semi-problem: I would have to cut my current O/R H pipe to fit longtubes.

-Cams. Semi-problem: Girlfriend says they're too expensive



SO, I come to you guys. Are there any other mods that I should consider? I'm mainly interested in power adders, and my budget is limited, although I am pretty good at coming up with cash when I need to.

Cams.
I've said my 2 cents a lot on your other post. Why would the GF care? She'd love them... maybe.

You have, and that's what I want. I'm not completely sure of which one I want though, and I thought it would be wise to see if there were any other avenues to go down.

Good idea to keep things open, but on the other hand if YOU want it and YOU can pay for it, then do it. No one else should care. I'm nearly 18 and as much as my dad likes to intervene he lays off if Im paying for it, and everything recently I've done I have paid for and I have had all the freedom in the world Way it should be!

I had you pegged for a mid 30s guy! I agree though, if I can get the cash for the cam and the install, I'll get it done.

Cams! The g/f might grow to love 'em, might not.

Or lowering springs? Would a mild 1" drop cause big problems?

Give me a second and I'll get a pic of my clearance to give you an idea.

Agreed. However, I just thought of one thing that I would like a little input on. I already know what the general concensus(sp?) will be: It's nice, but it's not there all the time.

Anyway, my friend who has a built 4.6 with a Saleen supercharger running 12 lbs of boost is a big fan of nitrous. He said he likes it more than his supercharger. Anyway, it's not too expensive and although it isn't there all the time, it's a big boost when it's used. As far as refilling tanks, you can rent a big tank from somewhere close by here and get your nitrous for practically nothing.
