Default help me on choosing my mods

i have a 93 z28, my mods are flowmaster muffler, hi flo cat, kn intake, airfoil, tb bypass, and i run royal purple for all fluids. I want to put a couple hundred more dollars into my car. I am planning on getting a cutout. Maybe underdrive pulleys, an ac delete pulley. Im wanting to go cheap. I ran a 13.8 @98 last year. With around a 2.0 60 ft. With new zri fuzions in the back im hoping to get a better 60 ft. Are these good mods? What kind of power should each pick up for me?

I'm assuming you have an auto. I say get a converter and drag radials and get your 60' down.

It's really going to be hard to bring that number down for only a couple hundered bucks. For that kinda money you can't buy much besides a e-cut out or maybe a couple suspension parts. I'd say just save up your money for a larger project that you will have the most bang for the buck.

You can't even buy a set of drag radials or a decent converter for that kind of money.

im getting new tires anyway, im hoping that will decrease my 60 ft by 2/10s, but at least 1. Im taking out the spare and rear seats. Can i run a 160 thermastat on an untuned setup, or should i run 180. I was also looking into getting the hypertec prom chip. What all would it do for my car. hp, tq, and would it improve my shiftpoints? My switch from 2nd to 2rd switchs at 5500, id like a 5750 switch.
