Default Next mod...

I have a couple hundred extra bucks to spend from my tax return. I already have a lid, CAI, and an exhaust and I just ordered an underdrive pulley. Should I buy a ported throttle body or a y-pipe or something else with the extra money. I welcome all suggestions.

Unless you have a big cube motor you probably won't see any game from the throttle body. What kind of car are you working with. We really need to know that type of info to give worth while suggestions. Let us know.

The best mod I've done to may car subframe connectors. The good ones cost more than two hundred bucks, though.

That's where I'd spend my money. You'll need a cheap laptop.

My vote is for subframes and maybe LCA's. Of course Autotap wouldn't be a bad choice either. Clear as mud right.
