Default The ultimate question

So here it is....
What is everyone going to do with their extra $600 in may/june from the govt. ( yes it passed )
We all know exactly what the moneys going into question is which path to take?
I'm keeping my budget in the $800 range to be safe

Here's what I'm stuck on.

I definitely want to lower my GT, thinking the Eibach pro-kit with some tokico d-spec shocks and struts.
I also want to get 4:10s and a short throw ( thinking Hurst but I like hearing opinions )
BUT I also want to get the roush front fascia ( considering i messed up my bumper, minor, but its there )
BUUUT I also want to get a tune ( thinking Bamachips, heard Doug is amazing )

Question is: Which way to go? I might have the short shifter before may/june, so maybe that would turn into 4:10s and a tune???

Would love to hear everyones opinions on this, I'm a dreamer, but I know realistically I can't have all these at the same time, so I gotta decide which way is going to be more fun and thie biggest bang for my buck out of the driveway.

Would be cool to hear what you guys are gonna do with it too!!

CAI & tune first would be my choice. Me personally? Good question. I just spent $2000 on wheels and tires so I may dump it into new electronics for my bass boat. You asked...

I would personally go with the MGW...but everyone has their own opinion on that. I think dropping the car with the Eibach and tokico would be a good route.

I don't think I'm getting the $600....if I were it would be a cai/tune.

Given the doom coming, probably buy lead money* and wait for the end.

Anyone want to pool our fortunes together and buy an island?

Ahhhh, I saw the CAI and assumed you had a tune already. That would be my vote then. I'd get a JLT package from Doug or Brenspeed.
