If you were going to spend roughly $1000 on some higher end Mods what would you go with?
Heads
Intercooler/Fuel rails
Exhaust (Headers/catback)
Cam/springs
Rockers/springs
Other ideas?

I'm just curious as to what the best investment is for my next mod. Personally I'm debating on Heads or a Shortstack Intercooler since the other things i've already done slight upgrades to.

the IC for sure. Gives you plenty of room to work around.

i decided to do cam/chain/springs, and headers, and a few other little bits for that money,

as for yours i could have to agree on headers, and intercooler.. if you want to spend it all go intercooler or heads as although they would help now, headers can be gotten cheap and would be a huge benifit to an i/c setup later on..

GMR LSD and 1" GMR chain. no better way to spend a grand. if you're lucky enough to find them that cheap, if at all. No matter what kinda power you add to your car you will KNOW the trans can handle it. and that, my friends, is a priceless investment IMHO
