I got back $1011. Spent most of it at Speed Inc today. Might be spending the rest there too. Picked up UMI sfc's and relo brackets, SLP ram air, Speed Inc. x-pipe, SS band clamps, Speed Inc. O2 extension harnesses, and a Speed Inc. 160 stat. Just need to get the Hooker Comp headers and Z06 maf conversion then i'll be done for awhile.

Besides the Z06 maf and headers, I still need to get a UMI torque arm, Comp Engineering rear shocks, Strange fronts w/275 spring, SLP linelock, ASP underdrive pulleys, Walbro 255 intank and Speed's 42.5 injectors w/their rails from them.

The choices of the poll should be '$0.01 to $1,000' and '$1,001 to way too much'. I had my work only withold 7% of my income (even though I'm in the 15% tax bracket) and I still overpaid by $650. Any money you get back in a refund is an interest free loan you give the government. It's money that could have been sitting in your high yield money market making 4% interest.

I am getting back more than I ever have before. I am waiting on my other half now since I had to amend. Big promotion at work mid year and tuition expenses that qualified me for the Hope Credit. But I know better than to waste it all on mods.

I'm getting a tat or two, so not all my money is going toward mods. Maybe the titty bar also, haven't been there in awhile.

Damn 1 Bad Ta, you should jumped on the sponsor sale they had on the Racetronix Fuel Pumps. It was 206 shipped for the pump and 263.00 shipped for the 42 lbs injectors through HarrisSpeedWorks.com.

I think you should, if you're working year-round. I only worked over the summer. It was 40 hours a week though. And I got $300 back. It's already gone . Gas and insurance on a V8 paired with buying a few different goodies for the car didn't help the money stick around too well. So now, I have to find a job and quit bumming money off family since I'm driving again.

Haven't done mine yet but I'm hoping on $4,000. I made about $8,000 more than I did last year and I got $3,500 back then so either way I should be sitting good. Gotta love being a full time student!

Yea, I tried that Turbo Tax software thing. The year before I went with the people who do my parent's taxes and it was around 200 also.

IBad Ta, you can still get the injectors for 263 but pay 14 bux for shipping through HarrisSpeedWorks.com. That sale is year-round.

you do realize that your return is taxable again next year? So if you pay 30 percent next you can add another 30 percent to it for a total of 60 percent tax. You might talk to cpa before giving it away. I used to too.
