Default what if i had $5-700

you know, i typically hate these threads, but i am really curious. I may have the opportunity to have a free $5-700 dollars.

What should i do? Mod the truck a little more? I have CAI, power wire, cat back exhaust, and throttle body spacer. If so, what should i get next? planning on having cams one day...

OR

should i invest in my first shotgun? i would like to have an 870 wingmaster. I can get one at gander mountain for about 600 OTD... close to.

???????????????????

I would buy the shotgun. You should be able to find a used one for half that price, and most guns are never fired enough to even get broken in good much less worn.

buy the shotgun, knock over a 7-11, use that money to buy mods. See you can really have it all, you just gotta think creatively...

Maybe a visual mod rather than performance, have to have a little of both.

Agreed, id consider new rims. If thats an option for you contact Andy at info@wheeldiscounters.com hes got decent deals on pricing if you have an idea of what you want. Check the american racing website for some ideas. Good luck making your decision.

i would say find a used programmer in the classifieds here ( usually can be found for around $200-$250) and get a new throttle body and get rid of the useless tb spacer. you should still have a few hundred left over after these 2 mods too, in which i would go for an efan also. free up some hp/tq and do all the bolt ons. then save up for some headers,cams,gears and youll have a quick truck with some decent hp/tq....

I would say spend a little on a shotgun (mine brand new was 250). 870 express is a decent first shotgun for alot less. then programmer, it seems to be a fairly decent hit to the pocketbook any other time, but the most sought after also...i am happy with mine.
