Help Me Spend $300

Topic says it all. Please look at my signature and give me some ideas as to how I should spend this dough. I'm thinking about sending my intake, runners, plenum, and throttle body to Skulte to be ported and matched with TPIS big mouth gaskets for $225 with shipping. This will leave me another $75. I already have an extra stock FPR and I'm going to make it adjustable and install it when/if I do the TPI. What would I do with the other $75? What would YOU do with $300? I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Buy tools to do the work yourself. You could buy a new cam and all of the necessary parts to do a cam swap. Thats what I would do.

Yea I third that motion but $225 inc S&H is a very good deal. Its still not going to give you as much as a cam swap and a quick Dremel job. Dremil or Rotozip same thing $80, $40 for bits, $120/30 for cam and lifters, $40 for gaskets, $5 for paint, $8 for silicone. $303 or less and you could probably cut that tool purchase if you know someone thats got a dremil and apply the $80 for beer money
