Default What is the best thing to get for around $600 for my car????????????????????

I have been planning on getting the new BBK SSI intake after christmas.

Is that a good idea or should I be looking into getting some other things for my car with that money that would make more power(no nitrous)?

Current mods are listed in the link in my sig.

Thanks.

Yeah, I already have a bigger throttle body. So I guess just the intake.

I would go to work on the rear suspension with some new upper and lower control arms with poly bushings all around to improve the ride and handling.

best bang for your buck would be gears, I'd reccomend 3.73s and an off road H pipe with a Flowmaster cat back system
