Default SFC's, STB, OR PCM tuning?????

I have a small amount of cash that i have to play with right now ($300) and I would like to know if I should order some SFC's and an STB or if I should get some PCM tuning done, and i was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what would be more worth my money <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

good luck getting PCM tuning for $300. On a car like urs it's not even worth it anyway.

you don't have a use for computer tuning... a hypertech programer has some cool features that can be usefull... especially if your car came with a top speed limiter of 118mph like mine did

subframe connectors should help your car stay rattle free for a longer time

shock tower braces look cool

subframe connectors and shock tower braces are not part of your car's suspension... they are parts designed to strengthen the chassis

I would go for the SFC and STB too. I am getting an HPP3, but to remove the speed limiter, and I got a good deal on it. The SFC will stiffen the chassis, and will help your launch a little bit (power won't twist the chassis as much, sending more to the rear wheels). STB will help in cornering. Both will do wonders (or so I have heard since I have neither yet).

SFC's and STB are both the first basics I'd advise. Both will help stiffen the Unibody designed construction of our cars and help lessen the long term affects of body flex to creat squeaks and rattles. If then power enhancements are your focus your chassis is already well on its way.
