$400 to spend, help me go broke

Hi guys, I just got $400 to spend on my car. The only thing i have done is a flowmaster cat back. I'm probably going to send $200 on an SLP CAI, but what should i do with the left over $200.

THANKS!

do not get the SLP cold air

the double runner design looks great but that is it and the filters always pop off

go get a moroso or a K&N if you get one

how about used roller rockers and LT4 springs. that will run you close to $200 if you try.

I'd rather not spend all my cash on gears just yet. I'm going to get CAI , most likely moroso.

If i can get ahold of 1.6 rr and lt4 springs for 200 id probably do it, even though i have no clue how to set them

Any other comments? I need bang for the buck items. How about BBK underdrive pulleys, do they really add 15-20hp for about $100 bucks?

pullies are kindda a waste to pay full price. www.ws6.com dynoed them and got 5 # of torque and less than 1hp gain.

how bout a home-made CAI for $50-75

cutout for $60-75 installed

then save up for some headers...

Headers. I picked up my Macs and offroad pipe for under $400 a few years ago.

Do the free mods of cutting off the airbox lid and bypassing the throttle body coolant.
