I cant decide

I will have my POS Duster sold by friday and will have about a grand to play with. I will also plenty of funding from my summer job. I just cant decide on a project to start. Im either going to buy a fox that needs work, PI swap on my '97, suspension work(lower it, SFC's, LCA's, CC plates, and shocks), or miscellaneous things like new headlights, HID's, TB & plenum, headers, gears, & sniper tuner. I just cant decide what to do. So tell me what you would do thats reasonable and not going to cost above 3 grand all together.

I like it. If I went with that I might even throw some UP's and some Nitto DR's.

If you do the PI swap, might as well get a set of nice cams to toss in the PI heads before you install them. I wouldn't mess with a throttle body. Kind of superfluous really...unless you have a blower or turbo. Maybe look into that new manifold that someone just came out with that replaces the plastic lower piece and the upper plenum.

Yea, I would throw a cushman motorsports cam in it. I would love to do the PI swap but that sounds like my most expensive option. I just dont know if I would be satisfied with the gain compared to cash spent.

i believe many would agree the PI swap is well cash spent
