I have a 500.00 limit and I want to blow it on my car but I cannot decide what to blow it on! I was thinking A UPR off road X pipe and some steed pullies but wanted to see what you guys thought. My current mods are listed in my sig.

You could get both of them. I think the BX series Bassani O/R X-pipe is around 225 and you can find the Steeda pullies on the trader or Ebay usually under $100. That would give you almost another $200 to find something else.

I was told that my hypertech chip advanced my timing. Is that true or would it be better to put the adjuster on there and do it that way?

Your chip does, but it's a preset amount unless you've had a dyno tune - with the T/A you can set it for what the SOTP meter says works best. Only thing is if you keep the chip and then advance the T/A you'll be way advanced.

If you haven't done any suspension work, I say get a set of sportlines and LCA's.

You can also find a set of tokico illuminas for about $490.

If your car's a 5 speed, you could get a tri-ax shifter for $150, gears for another $150 and the install should bring the total for that to about $475 ish.

There's a LOT of options. Just ask yourself what you want out of the car. Looks? Acceleration? Handeling?

Just save another $50 and get longtubes and an o/r midpipe if you can install them yourslef. They are soooo awesome.

Your ET is kinda high for having 4.10s maybe some rear LCA's. -
If your manual the Steeda Tri Axe is a must.
Maybe some dress up items from the Steeda website. Look there you'll find some stuff that's what I did anyway.

I would go with the long tubes and a o/r x. If you can talk your way into it I would get a set of drag radials too.
