Default Went to the Track Tonight, Question About Future Mods

This was my best, and final, run of the night. The track wasn't too crowded, so I got to make about 7 runs. It was ~65 degrees when I first got there, and ~55 as it got darker. I haven't been to the track since I sold my 5.0 seven years ago. Tire pressure was 32f/25r since I didn't want to stray too far from how I run on the street. I also had the spare/jack in the trunk and a little less than half a tank of gas.

R/T - .725
60' - 2.043
330 - 5.831
1/8 - 8.906
MPH - 81.16
1000 - 11.521
1/4 - 13.726
MPH - 103.01

The car is a 5-speed with ~4,700 miles, 4.10 gears, 18" factory Bullitts, SLP Loud Mouths, Steeda shifter, SCT 93 octane tune, and CDC Shaker w/ stock air box. I got off the line pretty good launching at ~2k rpm, but there was a good bit of wheelspin going into 2nd and 3rd gears. My birthday is coming up, so my fiancee has given me a budget of ~$300-$400 for a present. Given the info. above, would the better bang for the buck be: C&L intake or underdrive pulleys & upper control arm or upper and lower control arms? Any help is much appreciated.

UD pulleys would be nice.

I'd go with the intake and get rid of the restrictive airbox. Heck, you could go with the JLT II for $195 and still have enough for pullies or LCAs.

It's a bit of a cruise for you Mick. Even for me it's a jaunt. Especially with MIR just a couple of miles from my house.

Thanks guys. I'm kind of torn between the JLT and the C&L Racer intakes, but at $199 the JLT is looking pretty good.

I had the JLT with Evolution's tune and loved it! I ran 13.20 on the 100 octane tune at Mason Dixon.
