I think I'm going to have about $1000 of spending money coming to me soon. Any advice on what mod I should do with it? Which one will give me the best bang for the buck for around 1k price range?

Lts/new x and a tune would look real good. You would probably pickup more power with the LTs than you have so far total.

RE: cash :)
LT's are a good choice - but i'd start with suspension - What's the point of having a lot of horsepower if you can't get your tires to stick?? Honestly, i'd go with: Steeda LCA, Subframes, and D/R if you're looking to hook up nice on the track. As far as the TB/Plenum I have a 75mm Accufab TB w/a C&L trueflow plenum - i'd say BBK, C&L or Accufab... I hear the Pro Products versions need some refinishing of sorts.. The BBK setup they have is less then 100 bucks more.
If you want some power and some suspension you could always do: TB/Plenum, UDP, LCA and subframes... TB = 300 (if you go with BBK/C&L) UDP are 179.95 - but i found mine brand new Steeda on ebay for 130... LCA are around 200, and subframes in between 1-200... but that doesn't include install... I don't know how mechanically inclined you are - or what connections you might have.

RE: cash :)
most places here quoted me in between 900-1000 for LT's... I need the headers, labor and a shorter midpipe...
TB/Plenum is very easy to install.. Pulleys are tricky, you have to have a special tool - but i know some people that have done it with lil experiance, I was quoted 80 to install mine... for lower control arms i was quoted 125.. they also quoted me sfc (which need to be welded in) 309 for parts and labor... I got lucky - I had a friend who happens to be a mechanic install - springs, LCA, udp for $100.00 - since i dont know what the hell im doin either when it gets kinda complicated, haha. Good luck - either way ya go i think you'll feel it's money well spent!

thanx for all the advice kazp3r, sounds like you know what you're doing I already have UDP's I just couldn't fit them in the sig. All this work was done by previous owners so they're a couple of nice freebies for me

RE: cash :)
I know a lot about a little, and I know not nearly as much as I don't know... I've just learned as I go along, hah. yeah my sig kinda maxxed out on me too, so I just put it to "bolt on plus 3.90" haha... if you have the udp - I would go part power, part suspension. I rode in my friends WS6 with LCA and D/R and ever since then - I ended up buying them for my Stang, haha. Just rips off the line now... sooo nice.

Just FYI I got my upper and lower control arms for like just under 200 bucks I think. www.blueovalindustries.com They are not adjustable, but I have talked to at least 2 people that were very happy with em.
