Default Need some suggestions/ideas on what I should do next

Hey guys, just got my taxes back and its been awhile since ive gotten something for my car. Im looking to spend around 1000 maybe a little more. Im fairly happy with my power numbers now, but more doesnt hurt. Any ideas would be helpful, and my parts list is in the sig. Thanks

what numbers are you making now? Id say that w/ heads and cams, and even full bolt ons, your going to be stuck in the low 3's rwhp until you either go F/I or nitrous. I say save up for a S/C, because I like the idea of CONSTANT boost, and not just occasional (like nitrous haha)

I don't see any suspension mods listed... Look into FLSFC's, some new shocks and springs, and maybe control arms if money allows... A good suspension upgrade will help get more power to the ground and improve the cars braking and handling.

Lower control arms, shocks and struts, but here is what i am really going to suggest to you my friend...youre running a stage 3 clutch...WITH A STOCK 10 SPLINE INPUT SHAFT!!! Thats a HUGE HUGE no-no. One of these days youre going to snap that sucker and its gonna cause a lot of damage that will cost more than actually building the transmission. I suggest that you look into getting a built transmission. All that power through your T3650(im guessing seeing that you have the late 01-04 spoiler and scoops) is a horrible idea. You'll hit the shift hard and you will do mucho damage with the power that youre making right now. So thats my suggestion to you my friend. If not that, lower control arms, strange 10 way adjustable shocks and struts, and torque box reinforcements. Might also want to get some 3" wheel studs as well depending on your target times you wanna run.
