What to buy next?!

I have no idea what to buy next? I have some money ( around a grand ) and would like to buy something for the cobalt but dont know what I want to do next

Should I install the 2.7, larger front mount from SMG, and Dual pass from SMG and get a retune?
Should I order the brake kit from OTTP thats on sale right now?
Should I save a little more money and put air ride on the car like ive wanted to?
Should I just save it all together and bank it?

I could go either way with the car, i could install more motor mods on it and be happy, or throw air ride on it and use it as a show car and be happy. I have a steady 40hr week paycheck. Worlds 2nd biggest casino. I have job security too lol.

Well air ride isnt my thing but I think you either go performance or show..mixing performance on air ride...meeeehhhh probably not the best idea.

switched it up all together after talking to fred dayna and glen last night.
going turbo swap. going to bank the money for over the winter, buying odds and ends such as bov, wastegate, charge piping etc then if something happens over winter ill have a bulk of money sitting in bank. then in spring when i can ride motorcycle again im going to drop car off at smg to get it done.

I was all about the supercharger when I got the car and i had goals and whatnot, but time, and other peoples proven builds have shown it is limited and the goals I want ( 330-350whp ) are only achievable by either 1.) Nitrous - dont want to do it, 2.) TVS - dont want to do it, or 3.) Turbo. After riding in Daynas car when it was up at SMG i was convinced to go to the dark side lol

check my thread in for sale section, selling 2.7 ,front mount, and dual pass endplate
