Save it.. 300 wont get you anywhere really
Gears would be a good idea, but you would have to pay for labor also

labor for gears is a bitch. not to mention you need a tuner or recab tool to reset your speedo..

Accually I would go with trying to find a used programmer. It will bring your car alive and if you plan on doing mods in the future then it will the the best investment

depending on piping and setup, you might be able to squeeze dual exhaust in for $300-$350

skip all bolt ons and wait to get a turbo kit if you are serious... bolt ons do next to nothing. Do an 8.8 rear end if you want to save a little more. It'll be better for the future.

Actually, I take that back...get a tuner. You'll need it for everything else.
