Default Next mod?

I ran into some birthday/christmas money and I was wodnerign what to do with about $1000-$1250. Just looking for suggestions

I already have
18" wheels with Nitto 555s not DRs yet
4.10s
85 MAF, plenum, 75mmTB
magnaflow x pipe, magnapacks
steeda short throw

You guys think I should try and get some long tubes with a new shorty x or some control arms, springs, shocks & struts? 13" cobra Brakes? Any input would be great. I am kind of stuck on my next move should be because I want to do them all now haha

what are u lookin for. Speed? Handling? looks? Braking? Personally I would go the hp route. but since u have 18" rims u might want 2 lower it to improve handling & appearence to finish off ur look.

Get some weld wheels for the track since those 18s will be killing you down the 1/4

If you take the heads off and put them on yourself then it will run you about $800-$1200. If you take the whole car to them then its gonna cost you closer to $2500. (thats with bigger SS valves being put in also.)

is it a good idea to lower your car? wouldn't you lose speed but gain handling tho?

i would think you would gain speed from lowering your car since you are increasing your areodynamics?
