Default $250 Help Me Spend It

Mods in sig. Just purchased Yank TP4400 converter with cooler and BMR SFC, LCA, and torque arm. Have $250 to spend. Was looking at Eibach Drag Launch Springs but people tell me its a waste of money. I really wanted something that would help me performance wise. Might end up going appearance. Would get MAFT but dont have ATAP so I wouldnt know where to change. Was also considering a-pillar guages or tint. Can yall think of anything? Thanks

TIRES! <img src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" border="0" alt="[judgement]" />

You're going to be spin city with that conveter without ET Streets, or at least BFG drag radials.

You can make all the power in the world, but with out traction all you’re going to get is a nice long set of blackies and some good trap speeds. You want ET? You need traction! Another vote for tires...

Stop by with $250 in hand and I'll take you to a couple places where we can drop that coin on a good meal, a nice bottle of wine, and maybe a little coganac (sp?) to wash it down. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" border="0" alt="[chug]" />

You can get a 16" (rim size) ET Street, but not 17. You'll need different wheels to run these tires.

I think they have a 26X10.5X16 and a 26X11.5X16, and that's the tallest rim size you can get.

Someone correct me if I'm behind the times here <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Your going to have to add to your 250 bucks...but the e.T.'s are the way to go.

166.95 for the 11.5/26 E.T. street at Summit.

Keep a watch in the classified for a used set.

26x10.5x16 will probably be adequate at a good track. 26x11.5x16 also fit, but they are a bigger diameter which effectively reduces your gearing. Not too much of an issue with 3.73s, but I thought they hurt me a bit when I had 3.23s.

Didn't see a cutout on your mods ($25-40). Cheap HP, and with your ORP, when it's open it will make small children cry. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Another thought is KYB adj shocks. You can leave them firm for AutoX and street, then lighten them up for dragracing, $300/4.
