Default what to do

okay, so ive got about $850 coming my way most about $450 of it by the end of the week, my plan with the whole amount is an SCT tuner, and the 1.7 rockers... my 1st question is do you guys think thats the best combo to go for while ive got the money? or do you suggest a different item? and also, it really shouldnt matter because the money wont be HORRIBLY spaced out but it could be a week or two later that i get the other $400 so which one of the two should i go ahead and order first? thanks!

1.7 1st. If you buy the SCT tuner they will have to retun it to adjust for the 1.7's.

You don't have to return anything, just get the program tweaked and emailed.

With an extra $400 I'd dump the 1.7's for 1.6's, get a custom cam, and replace the timing
chain while your in there with a double roller.

man id love to go cam n all but its just more work, and ill most likely have to go to a shop since i have no tools or room to do any of it living in my apartment, which is another problem that i didnt think of earlier, i called around and found a 1 man shop privatley owned about 20 mins away who will put in the rockers for $235 and one more known shop 2 minutes down the road who will do it for $318 so im looking at more money with either one which is going to most likely make my decision to be one or the other and not both now
