Need some advice

Well, after some careful saving in the last month or so I've ended up with a good sum of money to spend on some mods for my L. I'm looking for performance mods. I'm a bit undecided however as to what mods to get though. My current mods are:

Diablo DeltaChip
JL 3# Pulley
JL Ram Air Kit
Bassani Cat-back Exhaust
Denso Plugs
LFP Driveshaft Loop


Currently I have a few options in mind, give me your guys opinions:

-JL Traction Bars, Electric Fan & Cobra Waterpump
or
-Traction Bars & Billetflow T/B
or
-Long Tube Headers, Hi-Flow Cats and Midpipes
or
-Save it for right now, then in about a month or two go for a Kenne Bell blower.

Those are my ideas....help me out here!

Save it for the kb! But don't forget about support mods!

ANyone else care to chime in? By support mods I think you mean a built block and such, and by the way, if I had the KB I'd get it dyno tuned and run about 13 lbs of boost, and maybe crank it up to 15 at the track.

I have an opinion, but I'd get yelled at for stating it.

Get the mods that work.

Plasma Booster, Ported Intake, Ported TB, Plug Wires, Cap, Rotor, 2 Fuel Filters, Shorty Headers, Flowmasters and a k&n drop in filter.

All of the pulley's, chips, filter kits, etc dont work and wont come close to the HP and ET's that above will provide you.

LOL so true.

ShadowLightning, have you considered a big brake kit? SSBC and TCE make kits that at priced at less the $2000, about 1800-1900.

Maybe a suspension kit like the roush or hotchkis?

I wanna hear what Tim has to say too.

Personally I would get the traction issue out of the way. It only gets worse with more power.

With that said-

Traction bars
2 inch drop shackles
Nittos 555rs or a extra set of slicks or QTPs


then Electric fan (I think that is a great mod anyway)
then a KB


Just my opinion.

Thanks Vinnie...however, I knew I forgot to list some of the mods I already have. I have the 1/2" drop on my truck, and also already have the Nitto 555R's for the track, and to swap my 20's. I think traction bars are a must though... I'm drooling for a KB
