Well I'm getting itchy to blow more money lol. Just looking at what you guys think or would do. I know it's MY car, just looking for opinions.
An aluminum driveshaft and would probably do an after cat X as well if I was under there. DS about 575 plus cost of Xpipe (probably bassani)
Or
2011 Shelby Brembo front only brake conversion. These are the gloss black calipers. But may paint red. Could get at around 650.
Or
Single or dual Aeroforce gauges in either SOS pillar pod or Roush vent pod. Cost 300-500.
Mods are in my sig. I have RTR wheels.
Whatcha think???

I dont recall seeing that on the list lol. Not time for LT yet.
The brakes are GT500 take offs.
If we can get 10 guys to commit to buy a Shaftmasters DS, I can get them for 575 shipped

IMO I would do the brakes, it seems you want them and all the other things are price set and not going anywhere. Get the brakes, all the other stuff will still be around when you get some money saved up again.

6 of one, half dozen of the other.
I suppose you may notice the largest difference from the driveshaft since brakes are already pretty darn good on these cars. you only appreciate the aeroforce gauge more if you drive at night more (or fall/winter)

FYI: There's a groupbuy going on for DSS driveshafts right now on SVTP forums. Matt from Lethal is doing them for $620 shipped.

Thanks for the heads up. ....Yeah I was somewhat involved with that till I got yelled at by the forum police. They can suck it. LOL. Plus I'd take a Shaftmasters over a DSS any day of the week, especially for $50 cheaper.

Drive shaft from your list. But for me I'd go with the boss side exhaust. Price isn't far off and it seems you aren't really interested in a lot more go power.

Trying very hard to be sensible when wasting money LOL, I would have to vote for the driveshaft mod..just in case you decide to go for more power in the future or just utilizing the power you have. Seems like you will get the driveshaft loop for free at that group buy price.

IMO the driveshaft is freeing up more power constantly, thus more to the ground and better fuel mileage. My stock brakes work well enough for what I do, so all my mods now are going into freeing up power, then I'll start making power ie: nitrous etc.
