He wouldn't even be able to do a ProCharger with $5k.

I figure my idea is gonna run $35-40k (counting the cost of the "donor" car).

C'mon lottery!

idk how i am getting back 5k but i just had my first child, go to school full time and work full time made 34k and only claimed myself. so when i hit up turbo tax it came back with 4900 pluss i got a spare 100 to add.

i have found several procharger kits for 3k-5k new and used. also on3 turbo kit for 2k
if i can get the procharger/turbo installed and tune for less without compromising my car then that is my route. especially considering i can make great use of the remaing cash. however if i can find a donor car for cheap enough i choose that route.. i have no intereset in nitrous and its rare that i get the go ahead from the ball/chain to invest the money into whatever i want.

i have waaay to much money into the body/suspension to trade in the car.

Like I said. Take that $5K and pump it into your loan to pay it off faster and/or pump it into stuff for the kid. Diapers are MAD expensive. Thankfully mine is finally potty-trained. Having a car payment and otheer bills, more power and more down-time for a car is the LAST thing I'd spend it on. I've been there and it was a foolish mistake.

Gonna guess his adjusted income and dependants qualify him for earned income credit.... This is why we're in a financial crisis ATM... Do something smart with the money instead, seeing as your getting money from people's pockets that you didn't put in. Pay the upside down car off before you mod it. That way if something happens and you can't pay it, you don't loose it with those pretty new mods.
