That depends mostly on what you already have. You could get a tach pod and some pedals. Depending on your set-up, I would go with one of three things: adjustable bump-steer, high volume fuel pump, or underdrives. If you already have most of that stuff, just get a cool steering wheel.

Id get a bad *** wing for your hatch...j/k...if you're in need of a tuneup or will be soon, 150 could get you wires, rotor, cap,plugs, maybe a fuel filter.

let me tell u somthin. Thats what im returning to summit.... i bought a bbk adjustable regulator, and the damn think leaked right between where the blue part and silver part meet. it was spaying my long tubes with fuel....... good thing i was on the dyno and saw it. Otherwise i would have been driving down the road and been on fire!! yeah so i tuned my car with SCT and the stock regulator....

my accufab fpr did that and it was just because a tiny gasket fell off when i was putting it on so it leaked, not sure if thats the same.
but yeah i'd say tach or line loc was a good one too, wish i had the extra bones to buy one of them.
