need mod advice

MY next paycheck should be about 500 at least. I was thinking SFC's for sure I need to get out of the way. What is the best bang for the buck SFC and how much do you think a shop would cost to wheld them in?

I also wanted to get a fast chip.

What else after that? Replace all of ignition?

I liked my KYB gas-a-just shocks and GR-2 Struts and they only costed me like 130 bucks. Made an awesome differnce in handling. Also look into Edelbrock's Strut Tower brace for TBI engines. That made a awesome difference to and it was only 132.00. And I replaced all my igntion stuff with MSD. http://members.aol.com/j007golden/ignition.html
Check out my mod site and look thru there. I have pics and tech help on all the mods I have done. Hope it helps ur decision. SFC's I heard were a good mod too but I haven't done them yet

Mike, not really related to what your considering with this next paycheck, but have you considered gears? Could run total just a hair above a single paycheck, but worth every penny. Period.

yeah I have considered gears. Hopefully I will order a chip and SFC's with this check and then by next check I will have enough to get SLP posi, 3.42 gears, then fix speedo with a gear. I will have a local shop put them in, they all want $250 to do it.
