Default $440, What to do???

Just sold my subs, wire kit, and amp and I have $440. My original plan was to save up and get VT Stage 2's and some springs with a tune. Now that I'm browsing, there is so much in my price range that I have no clue what I want to do. For example, Lower Rear Control Arms would be nice and alot other stuff. What would you guys do?

Save it for cams or a power added.

Do what you originally planned, save for the cams. That's exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm saving for a Steen stage 2 head port and VT stage 2 cams. It's so hard not to spend the money on something else, I just think about how bad *** it's gonna sound when it's done!

Is the head port necessary with the cams or is that just another thing you are doing?

Not necessary, but kinda makes sense because you are pulling the stuff apart anyway. Oh, and did I mention 300 rwhp...*headbang

I have another option now, my Saleen front bumper is in dying need of repair. I want to replace it with either a Cobra front end or the stock GT. My brother in law is a manager at a body shop and he said he would paint it for free because it is such a small item. If I decide to replace it, you guys know where I can get a Cobra front end or stock GT front end for a decent price?

I dunno, personally, I wouldnt waste the money on the cobra front end. I know you have paint covered, but the bumper itself is like 300 bucks, then the new foglights, then the chin spoiler...its just not a smart thing to do in my opinion, but talk to Springs, as he knows how much it all cost, and where to get it. Id hold out for cams and just get a GT front bumper with a chin spoiler, or just fix the saleen front, I love the saleen kit. And yes, black saleens with the whole kit=one sexy mustang.

Well, I've made my decision now. I'm going to save up some more, buy the full Saleen urethane kit and slap that on and new wheels are coming soon too.

I think I'm just going to focus on cosmetics and must-do's before Christmas and then all motor after X-mas.
