Default What Next?

So what should I get next, i have about $350. The only problem is that I have no way to raise my car so i cant really mess with my headers becuase the install cost to go to a garage would be too expensive. My mods are in my sig. Also, I dont really want to go the junkyard way and get used parts, becuase my parents actually make me clear everything i get even though its my money, and they would not let me get used parts (ive tried).

Ford explorer intake would be nice but you cant get used parts. The only thing I can think of for $350 and not being able to lift the car would be roller rockers or under drive pulleys (they are like $65.00).

Can't do long tubes since i already have a normal sized x pipe. What about throttle body? Will that make any noticeable difference? I might look into the ramp tho and get a pair of shorty headers from summit.

Ramps is all I have, and jack stands, and Ive done it all exhaust, tranny, rear suspension, subframes etc... I would go roller rockers, underdrives, ebay cold air intake with my $350.

equal length headers are shorty. Equal length means that all of the header tubes are the same length which gives you more power. If you look at the header some of the tubes are wrapped around so they are equal length.

Ok, is there any othere pieces i would need to buy to install the headers? I would probably also buy a throttle body since id have left over money (if i go with the 99 dollar summits), im guessing a 65 mm would be better since i dont have many mods?
