want to buy new mods need helps
ok so i have about $600 buck to spare and i want to buy some new mods for my car im going to purchase rims so i was thinking about getting crossdrilled slotted rotors from american muscle, do you guys think that will make a diffrence over the stock rotor? now the real question is should i get new spark plugs and the accel super coil plugs OR a new aluminum driveshaft?? dose the driveshaft really make a diffrence?? i also wanted to get 3:73 gears?? i also have in mind the whole intake manifold that sits on the motor? will that make a huge diffrence or better to waste my money on something else?? lastly would be shocks?? im betwenn all those things and i cant decide which to get any advice or help will be accepted thanks alot

crossdrilled and slotted rotors are prone to cracking and can overheat easier. if you really want to upgrade brakes just do a mach1/bullit/cobra upgrade brings you from 11" GT to 13" rotor (not positive on those numbers but you get the idea).
gears are a good choice but you need to decide what your future plans are for the car. if your gonna stay NA then 410's or higher may be a good choice for you. if you want nitrous or FI, you may want 390's, 373's or maybe even 355's or stockers if you do a turbo. gears are the best bang for the buck without getting nitrous.
intake manifold is a worthless upgrade on a near stock motor. if you plan on doing nitrous an aluminum manifold would be a good upgrade because it won't shatter with a nitrous backfire. but the stock manifold is actually a pretty good manifold until you start getting into FI or heads/cams. alot of the aftermarket manifolds you can lose power on a stock car because they are designed to make power in the higher RPM's, but with stock cams/induction/heads you will not make power where those manifolds are designed to increase power.
aluminum driveshaft isnt a bad upgrade. loosens up some rotational mass on your drivetrain and keeps vibrations down when crusiing but its not a ginormous difference.
upgrading plugs/cops isnt necessary for you right now.
shocks would be good if you lower the car also.
