What Should I spend My $300 on?

How long have you been driving the car? What do you feel about it needs to improve? Don't buy mods for the sake of buying mods if you are on a budget. Evaluate where you think the car needs to be better (suspension, power, wheels, whatever) and improve that aspect of the car.

i can't remember what i paid for mine, but it was a private mechanic, not a shop. he done really good. if you can find a trustworthy one, that will save you sum. i was told by a shop that, gears, kit, labor, 870... um.. dont' think so, but they packed a warranty. so.. up to you man. definitly go gears. good luck on your search

If you don't mind searching through a junkyard, you may luck up on an Explorer 31 spline rear-end with 3.73 gears for a couple of hundred bucks or so.
Then of course, sell the one in your car now.

gears
got mine installed and trac loc rebuilt with parts for $560. the ford racing gear set was $190 and labor was only $170, the rest was lube, seals, clutch packs etc
looks like you gotta save up a little more
and a cai is a waste imo

you can also pick up a explorer gt40P intake for like $150 or a cobra one for like $250 even tho they are basically the same thing. and then $30 for gaskets and ur set ( if you do it urself that is)
