Ok so I have about 1k to spend on my baby and no idea what do do with it. The things I have come up with so far are:
1) new drive shaft from JPC
2) Saleen Suspension System
3) BBK long tubes with cats and X-pipe or GRANATELLI's MID-LENGTH (not sure if I get these for 1k or if I need a tune or not yet)

Any advice or opinions are welcome. and :SNSign: rules as always, thanks guys.

How about a good set of sticky tires along with the 1 piece shaft.

Pullies, CAI, Tuner, and (Tumble plate deletes on the way) are my only motor mods for now

for the best SOTP feel, i would get gears. i am getting 4.30s, but you will do great with 4.10s if you feel 4.30s are too steep for you.

not sure how much that driveshaft is, but you might be able to do the gears and the driveshaft for your price.
