Default 4 Grand to Spend on an already super charged auto...need help.

Hey everyone,

Here's the scenario, I have about $4000 to spend on my car this season. So, I need your help. Do I upgrade handling, looks or performance?

This is what I already have on the car:

- '06 Black GT vert automatic
- Saleen Supercharger Stage II package from Brenspeed, dyno tuned 412 RWHP, 411 Torque
- 18" Chrome Foose Nitrous Rims
- LCA
- Avic D3
- Antenna Delete
- Cervinis Type II chin spoiler
- Red Brake Calipers

I think that's pretty much it.

So, what do you guys think? I know must guys say to stay below 450 RWHP with autos unless you have all forged internals....

Basically, not sure what to do, whether to go for a body kit or upgrade the suspension and handling or add a little more power...

Need some serious help here.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Buy a forged rotating assembley and pay someone to put it in, then up the boost. Screw visual upgrades, those were the biggest mistakes of my upgrading career

forged internals always a good idea. you think 4k will cover it for the rotating assembly and install? i'm thinking the same thing for me soon as i get $$$.

Well that won't help much due to the limitations of the saleen blower... I say buy another car that can be made super nasty fast and leave this one be...
