Default What should I do next?

I have about 300.00 saved up and I would like to do another mod. Here is what I have so far:

BBK CAI, BBK Hi flo Hpipe, Magnaflo dumped Muffs, MSD Blaster Coil, MSD Cap n rotor, FMS 8mm plug wires, BBK Underdrive kit, FMS King cobra clutch, FMS Flywheel, FMS Driveshaft, Suspension and brakes are done.

I was thinking of gears, but I am into Auto x and working my way to road racing, I am not sure what to really go with. I was also thinking of the Venom 400 module from summit or somethnig like that or more of an ignition up grade. What do any of you out there think?

Please whatever you do, don't plug anything into your computer unless it's a dyno tuned chip!!! 300 dollars might buy you the gears and install kit (and then have a few bucks left over) but that won't cover for parts+labor. If that money is burning a hole in your pocket I'd say get a new intake manifold.

Ill probably just save it in the long run LOL. I was just looking for ideas. I was think about saving it up for a 351 swap lol. But who knows. Last time I was saving up my clutch went out, then I said a what the hell I might as well do my h pipe too, oh maybe the ds also, well since I have the tranny out might as well do the shifter too and so on 1500.00 later. I have been wanting to build a 331 but I think i am leaning more towards a 351 swap. If I bought gears Id do them myself. So no labor except the 12 pack lol.
