What should I get?
Alright to make a very long story short, My parents spent 500 bucks on a B-day present for me, we are getting 250 bucks because of some issues that occured. Well they said I can do anything I want with the 250 bucks.
Well what do i do? Should I go with a steeda timing adjuster? A C&L MAF kit? underdrive pullies?
I am already getting a MGW short throw for X-mas and I have 4.10 sitting in my toolbox that are getting installed in the spring. Not sure what I should get. I want a good bang for the buck.
Whatca think I should get? Can you suggest anything else?
Thanks!

RE: What should I get?
Well I already have an X-pipe and a catback, so I don't need that.
Nitrous! No f'n way. I can't stand nitrous (personal beliefs) I want power all the time versus when I push a button. I think the only time I would have nitrous on a car would be to cool the intake charge of a boosted application.
TB and Plenum = way more than 250. The plenum looks like a possibleilty now, didn't think of that.
UD? well thinking maybe I would couple that with the timing adjuster.
What to do what to do. I have no big rush to decided the car should be going up on blocks this weekend if I find a beater for the winter this week and she won;'t be back down till spring

Save up $70 more for a Diablosport Predator. I've seen them brand new for $320.
It'll let you adjust the timing a little bit.
Give your car an optimum tune now.
It's easily to switch the tune back and forth from stock (in case you're still under warranty).
It has data logging capabilities to see how your car is performing.
You'll need it to recalibrate the speedo/odometer on your car when you put in the 4.10s (so it'll save you $100+ here).
It'll let you check any codes your engine might throw (dealerships will often charge you just to tell you what's wrong).
If you're auto trans, it'll completely remap your shifting for optimum performance, if you're manual, you can raise your rev limit a couple hundred rpms
Get rid of the 150mph limiter... etc

RE: What should I get?
I want a pred., but where are you seeing them for 320? I seem the for 400. If I can get one new for 320 I am there instead of......
What I think I decided on.[&:]
I am going to go with the C&L plenum and the steeda timing adjuster. I will just spot the rest, comes out under 300, should net about 15rwhp. Pretty good I think.
I am still toying with just the plenum and the c&l intake tube and getting the MAF come spring/summer abotu 15 rwhp, BUT i can't get the MAF seperate yet (according to site) and will come with another filter. So tough so tough.
Plenum and adjuster or plenum and intake tube? Those are the two choices, whatcha guys think?
