Default Spend My Money!!!

Ok, I keep getting so many mixed suggestions and really can't decide what to do on my truck. So let's do it this way! I want to have a good sleeper truck and want to drag race it every now and then at our local strip... SO here's the scenario:

If you had around $500-$750 to spend on the truck (in my sig) what would you do!? Spend it all! And also give links/references for certain parts. Thanks!

If I had $750 of your money to spend, I would use it to buy some of the tools and extra parts that I need to install the stuff that I thought was only going to cost $750.

Warranty? Only voids warranty on any part that needs replacing as a direct result of the mod< ie; if the Headers are directly responsible for the exhaust cracking or cat failure. It does not void any warranty on parts not associated to the mod.

$700 isn't going to get you very far, I've spent like $2500 or so and really only have little bolt-ons. Computer tune is the best bang for the buck! Most folks here will swear by Nelson's but there are other Tuners around also.

Have fun!
