Default What should I do for my next mod?

I'm looking to do my next mod, but I'm having a hard time deciding. I either want to go with Kooks longtubes / offroad x, wider wheels & tires (running stock 245/45/17), or the aluminum drive shaft. I would like to do cams as well, but those are out of my price range. Given the mods that I already have what would you guys go with?

X2 on the intake spacer, good and cheap, also the dyno tune. However im not convinced on the LMAF, and Accufab being good investments on a lightly modded car.

Well, the Kooks and the cams are around the same price ($1,200) but the cams will need cam gears, degreeing, and possibly valve springs. So I think the cams will come out to be quite a bit more money than the headers.

I have a custom dyno tune as the car sits. There was another member on here that had the Accufab and was trying to get rid of it because it added no performance gains and made an annoying sound. What sort of gains would I be looking at with a 90mm MAF?

I agree with ya, I'm sure they'd add a tad but nothing large. I'm sure they couldn't hurt tho and would mesh well if more power's added in the future. Not immediatly bang 4 the buck tho.

Very minimal with the MAF but every little bit helps especially with a good flowing intake. I've considered using it with my JLT rai because looking at the rest of the tubing makes the stock MAF look like a restriction. Baby steps. I do agree with mustangfan06 saying the spacer is definitly more of a effect for a good price.

People post cams for sale on m1r all the time for 3-500 below retail. I'd say for the price of aftermarket, which unfortunately require full exhaust and intake mods to get most out of, you can get full exhaust, kooks of course, with 98 cobra intake cams($150) advanced 4 degrees.
