Default Money to spend what should I get?

Hey I have got 450 to spend on my car. I already have a grounding kit, test pipes, Borla TD, and Injen CAI.

What do you guys think i should get to make it faster i was thinking a fly wheel but they are way too much to install (hopefully my tranny breaks)

I think you should get a bank account. Call it the car fund...put the money in there and wait til the account grows. When the fund has enough money for some more expensive parts then you can use it. Have to have will-power though not to spend it until it gets up there...

plenum or crank pulley would be under the $450 range. Buy some beer with the rest!

Plenum without a doubt, I've got boxes all over my house with Mods waiting to install. I'm going to Crawford for my install work. Borla TD, Crawford Cats and Headers, JWT Pop and Crawford Pleumn, New Strut and soon Cams! All installed at one time!

I dynoed my car and was running leaner by quiet a bit then my 1st dyno without the exhaust and test pipes will a plenum make my car run even leaner? How about a short shifter what do you guts think?

I would also go for a plenum. When you say leaner, just how lean? An N/A car can run much leaner than a FI car. I have been running with an Injen CAI, Crawford Plenum, Crawford Headers, Crawford HF cats, and the Injen Dual exhaust for months now and no issues. I just received my TS "Crawford" reflash today. Man that increase in the rev limiter is sweet. My car is pulling so hard now that it is scary. I went for a little test drive and I was up to 120 so fast I couldn't believe my eyes.

I would say crank pulley and Eibach springs.

You will get more horsepower, better handling, and better looks.

Or a plenum.
