Show or more go?

What's up guys... Trying to decide if I should add some looks or more power.. I have about $1000 to spend.

Either I get the 560hp upgrade from Breenspeed for my edelbrock s/c ( they would also give me the tune for the 520)



Or get a new hood or spoiler and other smaller stuff

I have painted headlights and an agent 47 grille which the grill I might put back to stock and gt500 wheels

I have a steeda bumper but haven't put bit on yet


I do like having rare looking stuff if that helps

Ill post some better pics bet here is a few

Thanks guys in advance for the ideas

I say get the aggressive chin spoiler, side scoops and window louvers. That would look really mean! The rest is use for wider wheels/tires. If you already have a supercharger you have the go now lets get that show! Also blacking out the rear lights and blacking out the trunk lid would add to the aggressive styling. What makes it better is you can get all this for a good price and free shipping from AM.

@muffinman

Got the steeda bumper so I don't need to get a chi spoiler

Lol just lazy and haven't put it on yet .

I like the blacked out light idea but I'm still holding on for 2013 style taillights to come out and hoping they do

Then I think **** i wanna say I have flywheel 560 hp haha ... Also putting the cats back on the exhaust so I am going to lose some power not much but still

These photos look appealing

Flames? Lol flame decals/paint look kinda ricy on a car unless it's hot wheels.

I vote for the performance upgrade, looks good visually so far, you can always modify the exterior after you make it faster if I could go back I'd have saved alot more $ and got a GT & went all performance first lol

It's all about go. I've regretted appearance mods but never felt bad about being faster.

Well lets see the edelbrock s/c with the 3:73 gears is really quick

I mean I can't imagine 560hp engine and I think when will I use all of that

But I would like a better tune and cold air kit for it and they also will provide the 520 tune


The appearance side I already have the steeda bumper so that will change the appearance when I put it on.

But I really digging the cervinis cobra r hood but its so expensive.

But looking at these pictures the steeda bumper with the good would be a sick combo

I know I'm surprised it took them that long to come out with it.. This one and the Shelby hertz hood are the best ones

But the kaenen 3" is a nice hood out of all the cowls

I say go with some show , not to say that you car doesn't look great now , unless you track it and the extra HP means something. I get 460 at the rear wheels and I can't get it to the ground on street tires , so anymore HP would just be so I could say I had it.

That was one of my concerns.. I have the eagle f1's and I was worried about actually hooking the car... I mean I don't drive fast but I would def need track wheels when I go and I am sure on the road would be a pain.. I would like to beat my 12.39 run though

I can still go with the 520 for the street and the 560 I can load at the track but I would have to swap the belt and pulley... Not too much a big deal but still

I say more show. I've never regretted it. I've got enough horsepower as it is. I never race anyone or take it to tracks, so I'm content. But I might be the only one who feels that way. I'd say mild mods like a billet grille, blackout panel on the back, and maybe a gloss black roof. Just to break up all the color. Is it lowered? Maybe different wheels? I have a feeling the boss 302 s wheels or replicas would look absolutely outstanding on this car.
