I only plan to spend about $500 on my next mod or two. I have most of the common bolt-ons, including Bassani off road x pipe, Borla catback, steeda pullies, removed air silencer w/ K&N, Fluidyne radiator, 4:10s, lowering springs, and some other stuff. I'm mostly looking for a modification that's gonna help my car go faster. Unfortunately, everything I want to do to the car costs big bucks. I don't want to mess around with new mass air meters and chips b/c I don't want to have the car running incorrectly b/c I didn't get it dyno-tuned. What is there to do, or should I just buy some Moser axles and a new differential and build up my rear end more? How much does a port/polish for the intakes and heads cost?

How about a powerpipe or CAI? the UPR power pipe is only $185...

And I know you want power, but without traction, power is no good, so how about some control arms or some Drag radials? You have just about all the basic bolt on's besides the MAF and Cold air/power pipe so suspension is the next step...

get a little more money together for drag radials to get a good launch with those 4.10's. Put that power to the ground where it belongs
