Ok ram guys, need financial input this time.
I have a ballpark of 300 to spend right now; approx 1200 at the end of Janurary; so a total of 1500 I could use to put into the truck.
Now I was told the water pump was leaking, and it was, once, but hasn't leaked since; regardless I already have the pump, and I bought a new IAC already. The heater core has to be done, but I can get that out of a regular paycheck this week or next.
My question to you is; What is the best bang for my 1500 bucks?
I'm considering this;
Rims - 300 (1200)
Fastman - 250 (950)
Open Air cleaner - 50 (900)
Muffler/Pipe - 300 (600)
Speakers/L7 solobaric 10" - 300 (300)
I guess the spare 300 for whatever pops up; Might need to get a new amp, mine is a 500 watt legacy that may be just a tad short on juice for a solobaric.
Ain't lookin for a fast as lightning truck; just reliable with a little pickup-n-go when i need to pass someone in a hurry, lol. Any and all input is appreciatedl especially because I overlook things ALL the time.

Looks like if you trying to get a little show and a little go your on the right track. Since your keeping your engine mods to a minimum maybe you could spend that extra 300 bucks on a hypertech or superchips programmer. Those two generic programmers can help 'dial in' minor mods like that. (i only say dial in because i can't think of a better word right now)

I wasn't thinking of a cam because I'm not going for a performance truck; but maybe if i get another vehicle in a year but my project car is my nova, so i'm not looking to make this thing a beast, just a quality daily driver
