I have $300 to spend and I need at least the following but I can't make up my mind. Why is it before the $300 I could make an easy choice but when you have the cash in hand it's so difficult?


1. Aftermarket Aluminum Valve Covers
(I broke the oil fill tube on my stock set so I will eventually need to replace them).

2. Steeda or MM LCAs

3. Aluminum Drive Shaft

Any advice?

What do you have done so far?? What are you going for, show or go? I would say 2 or 3...as 1 is strictly cosmetic...


Not knowing what you have...I would say gears, pulleys, or something like that first...

Not really but the filler tube just sits there loose.

I'd say fix your car and get new valve covers. Trickflow's new valve covers are coming out in a week and are only $189. or get a cheap set of stockers and go for the LCAs

I called Trickflow and they said it would be the middle or end of March before they release the valve covers so I'll just wait on those.
I ordered Steeda's aluminum control arms for $259 shipped from stangsuspension.com. Saving weight is a big deal for me on this car.
