Is this worth it?

I plan on supercharging my car, but I dont know when the fund will be available. It may not be for anotyher 2 years. If that is the case, after my t56 swap (someone is paying for that for me). I should have some green left (about $700). I was figuring some C/C plates, Steeda comp springs, Steeda UDPs and JLT RAI. I guess my question is, is the RAI and UDPs worth it for 2 years worth of driving?

In my opinion...no. When it's time for a filter change just put in a K&N for now. And I would definately not do the UDPs, do something that you wont have to throw away when its time for the S/C. Use that intake and udp money for like LCAs, sticky tires, gears, exhaust...anything you wont have to take off for the S/C. Ummm btw, how are you gettin a t56 swap for free? I want a t56! lol

I think it would be a waste of time. Just get a k&n drop it and call it a day. I did'nt get much gains from the cold air and pullies. I say drop it and then start a supecharger fund!!

I agree with Rob and rb, just start saving for the SC fund because you won't be using these parts once you go to install it and the gains you would see now are not worth the money, good luck.

RE: Is this worth it?

yeah definitely don't get the RAI and pullies. use the money for suppension work. either u/l control arms, or lower control arms and a panhard bar. maybe some subframe connectors and sticky rubbers
