Talking What to spend money on...

Ok I am getting a check for a decent amount of money for the stuff stolen from my truck a few days ago. So far I have decided to buy an alarm for $450 and I am going to get some drop shackles. I need to buy a new face plate and after those items I am left with around $500. I am thinking a programmer and a CAI. Do these sound like good performance choices or should I go with say headers instead?

500 you can get headers 350 and superchips 280 ish and just be a little over budget.

if you can swing headers and a tuner do that, but dont cheap out on the headers. get them ceramic coated ESPECIALLY with the winters you have there. Make your own CAI so that should be done anyways. Also do the taurus e-fan.

1. Tuner
2. Homemade CAI
3. Taurus e-fan
4. Ceramic coated headers if you have enough left over

I already have a tranny fan and I believe te last owner put in an e-fan, that would explain the fan that is in there lol. It is a homebrew CAI just have to buy the filters. The only reason I am thinking about doing what I am doing was because I have everything priced out and I should have a little left over to help with either an ipod to replace the one that was stolen or some projector headlights with halos. I want the headers but I think that might be something I do over the winter. And yes I was definatly going to get the coated because as you say, Ohio winters are horrible on everything lol.

I will sell you a set of halo projector headlights for cheap cheap. They are black tho, and they are currently apart. All you have to do is re-seal them.
