Default what to do next with 1400$

I am getting about 1400 for my taxes what do i do next. This is what I have:

Slp Air Lid, 3.42's, slp maf, slp cat back, 17's with 275/40's all around, and soon to be on are my hooker headers and custom ypipe. I wanna try to stay away from the tranny or rear end. I wanna focus on the motor.

Well, you could make my house payment this month!

I've been down this road. If you continue to beef up the engine, you'll have to do the rear end, whether you want to or not. But if you're not using sticky tires and launching at the track, it might live.

I didn't see in your info anywhere about sub frame connectors. In a ragtop, you're completely nuts to modify the engine and drive train and leave the chassis as flexible as a wet noodle. Or!!!! How about a roll bar? That'll stiffen 'er up!

I agree with Hourang, these are by far the best mods if you already have headers and can do your own mods.
