Default christmas ideas?

i wasn't sure what forum this went in but i was looking for some christmas gift ideas? i am looking to stay under $300 or so. thus, any neat or nice thing to have for the 2000 z28 is what i am looking for. i am thinking strano springs or a scan guage possibly. any other ideas?

the car is an auto. well i guess i should have mentioned what the car has. it has aftermarket headlights with smoked corners, tint, lid, ls6 intake, ls6 injectors, ported throttle body, cam, heads, pulley, full exhaust with lt headers, wheels, brakes/rotors, TA rear girdle, subframes, poly mounts, etc. i think i am going to get an untra Z hood when they hit the market again. so,i think i am going to wait on the ram air until then. i don't really see a need for a strut tower brace. i am not actually i see a need for the lower control arms either. the before and after results that i have seen on my buddies cars have not showed much difference besides more noise. i am pretty don't know what i would like. i wouldn't mind strano springs and a scan guage. i just needed a few other things to put on the list....

Dude. The LCAs make a hell of a difference for traction and basically straightens the car up a whole hell of a lot on launch. Feels a lot tighter and much more predictable in the rear..

Definitely get the dry kit and at least consider the lca's

based on your mods i think a small dry shot would work well. We should be having some pretty good sales coming up for christmas so definitly keep an eye out. I'll try to post up again when i figure out exactly what they will be.

the nitrous just isn't my type of thing i guess. i don't go to the track but once a year or so, thus it may not be worth my while. plus, i know i won't want to mess with refilling the bottle. maybe i am being too picky...

i am even considering a wideband. however, i don't know if i should because i won't even tune the car myself. i wouldn't mind having a good air-fuel guage though.

You can Never be too picky about your car!!! That's why our cars look so good cause we have some picky *** people. I think you should go for some nitrous. Even though you only go to the track once a year doesn't mean you won't use it. An Extra 150 HP at the flip of a switch is amazing and Cheap! Oh,You live in Staunton? Isn't that by Bunker Hill? I live in Bethalto!

sorry i had just noticed you posted up your mods. honestly, nitrous might be a good cost effective way of adding decent power to an already good combination.

yes, i live in staunton. it is near bunker hill. i actually bought a camaro from a kid from bethalto several years ago. i do not still have that one though. i sold it a while ago to get a LS1. it was a green 1995 z28. i can't remember the kids name i bought it from. the kid is probably around his early 20's, probably around 22 or so.
