Suggestions since I am one of the like .0000001% of people who are finally getting the check this week. I was going to use it to pay some of my credit card off but that's not really the point is it? I have my Steeda UDP, Hawk HP plus pads and my powdercoated and painted cam covers ready to go, so what should I do next? Pay the card, pay for install on those, get something else?

Get a spydershaft and you'll have $100 left.

I just got my check last week, haven't took it to the bank yet but mine will probably be used on FRPP hot rod cams.

You could do something few people will -- save it.

Pretty close to the same color.
The reason: I drove it in the snow and the chemicals they put down didn't play nice with the polished lip

I only purchase parts for the Stang when I have cash in the bank to cover the cost. I never carry over a balance to the next month
