Default Low cost high HP/Performance

I currently have 3 performance add-ons to my car and am looking for an inexpensive part to either add Hp or add to the performance of the vehicle for less than 300. Right now I have
1. Apexi Boost Controller
2. GReddy Oil Catch Can
3. Apexi Turbo Timer
What would you recommend for that price????

For a few dollars more I'd get the Stage 1. For less $$, maybe a CAI...[sm=smiley23.gif]

performance? if you include handling in that category then there is plenty you can get for what your planning to spend. you cound get a a agp waste gate, short thow shifter, magnecor plug wires, performance air filter, and a strut tower bar all for that dollar ammount. but for true bang for the buck, i gotta agree with dustyloins: get the stage one upgrade with the mopar blow off valve kit (manufacture stated HP increase is about 25HP). its about 100 dollars over your budget, but well worth the money IMHO. and then with your next fistfull of dollars could go to an exhaust system (the borla/mopar cat back has been dyno'ed to have given a stage one srt-4 another 10HP) , it's with in your scope of $300.

Megaman, you read my mind, or you read my mods to my SRT-4....just kidding![sm=smiley20.gif]
I agree with the exhaust system upgrade as well...the Mopar system is just as good as most others and a lot less $$$$...[sm=smiley2.gif]

From what I've read, the Mopar/Borla exhaust is just as good as the 3" exhausts out there up to around 350 horsepower and then the 3" exhausts win it hands down.
