    In this economy?

    1. Pay down any debt.

    2. Save it and invest it.

    Well Justin, now that we've gotten the preliminary required fiscal responsibility lecture out of the way, what are some of the ideas you have for the car?

    To the OP: Do you have a daily driver? If not buy a beater so you can further mod your car. Otherwise look into buying a house if you can. A fast(er) car should not be the 1st priority.

    forget about headers... get an APS twin turbo kit... headers would only have to be sold with something like that... that is around 5,000.00 for the kit... then get a safe/conservative dyno tune... another 300-400... then a 12 bolt rear...
