Default $450

Hey guys,
Ok here's my problem! (lol not a problem... lol an issue!)
I have 450 bucks for my car. I just got done with the 331 stroker build and i have 450 bucks to spend on an upgrade! I was originally going to get a tweecer to help the engine reach its full potential! (you guys like this idea?) Problem with the tweecer is... i can probably front the extra 100 bucks for the rt version but I can't afford to have it tuned!
I researched tuning but it seems like i would probably screw up the car more so then help it!

sorry, for rambling

Basically, ideas you guys can think of! I am using the stock heads and intake (I know HORRIBLE! lol) but i don't want to change those at this time!

P.S. - would the tweecer REALLY hard to tune myself? (i know opinionated word of "hard")

How about some suspension upgrades? Subframes, U&L C/A's.

Tweecer isn't too hard to get down, if you have a lot of patience, are okay with reading a lot, and can get past the learning curve. I wouldn't really buy it until you get a power adder though just because there is better stuff (IMO) that you can throw your money at.
