best mods for 2002 es

Right now i have aem intake, costom 2.25in catback, gc coilovers and springs, and a b&m shifter in my 2002 es. i now have about 900 to spend on mods. I am thinking about camshafts, hp racing long header, and a strut tower bar. Anybody have any other suggestions that would help me yeild more power. thanks

This coming from someone who dropped a couple hundred perfectly good dollars on Altezza/Eur-icey tails???!!! WHASUPWITDAT?

If you are all about style and don't care if you get your doors blown off by a Geo Metro, by all means spend the money on oh, lets say a triple-shogun kamikaze spoiler, a bunch of strobe/washer lights to make your car look like E.T.s ride and at least 300 stickers.

Otherwise I suggest:

Strut Bar - no power increase but you'll be faster in the turns
118 shares of Nextel (approx cost $800) - this stock is way undervalued and with the money you'll make you can buy a turbo!

Yeah, I like the idea of a strut bar...that's good, but cai's and all that jazz can die..we're not racers, we're drivers...

btw, isn't it like illegal to hype stocks on message boards or something..dont know why, but I think it is...

speak for yourself... a lot of us are racers, whether straight line, autox, or rally. and a few of us like winning and doing good in what we do.

as for power... if you're looking for power.. it sounds like you're going the right route.. the cams, header, and all that, will do you some good. personally, i'd go for suspension first, because our cars love suspension mods.
