I am trying to decide what to do next, either do suspension mods or power mods.

My choices are:

1.) Accufab TB and Plenum

2.) H&R race springs, Bilsteins, and MM cc plates

I know the prices are very different, but what will make the most difference for a daily driver.

In the future I plan to get a supercharger, but can't afford it until spring

Thank you

I take my advice from Tony Montana:
"First you getta da' money"
"Then you getta da' power"
"Then you getta da' women"

Both options would seem to compliment the mods you have already very nicely. It all just boils down to personal preference. W/O any spings your car is most definately riding to high and that nasty gap in the fenderwell should be taken care of ASAP. Although with what you are spending in springs, shocks, and CC plates, you could add a XCAL II or Predator to your TB and plenum package and gain mega HP with the right tune and your existing mods. Just boils down to presonal preference like most other mods. Its always this or that.....

come June I plan on doing a supercharger or cams from MPH, both would need a tuner so I was going to wait to do that, what would be better to do now.

Well, in that case, I would go with the suspension. The TB and plenum also go along with the boost or cams. What type of charger are you planning on running? If its a roots or twin-screw, the plenum wont be needed....

I would go for the suspension, because the tb & plenum wont add much power on a near stock motor. I cant wait to install my new suspension in my 97 cobra. I went with...
-Maximum Motorsports/H&R street performance springs(1.5 inch drop)
-Bilstien HD struts & shocks
-Maximum Motorsports 4 bolt caster/camber plates
-Maximum Motorsports adjustable rear lower control arms
-FRPP SVO rear upper control arms & new diff. bushings
Cant wait to see how much better the ride is gonna be. I wanted a lower drop, but didnt want the ride quality to suffer, plus I like the fact that these springs had a progressive rate.

Bilstien & H&R is an excellent choice!
