See if you can get a base flash. That's the most bang for your buck. I think dynoflash has one for like $250?

don't mess around with your boost controller yet, for starters go for a 3" tb (go with the lightest and most straight design), your oe intake is good until you decide to go with a standalone, just get one of those dry drop-ins....and start looking for a good speedshop in your area that knows 4g63.

IMO, don't waste your money on an intake. Stock intake is fine for 11-second passes.

Boost gauge is a good idea - Manual Boost controller is another good idea but not exactly safe if you don't have supporting mods (like a Fuel Pump).

I think a Downpipe will net the best 'bang for the buck' especialy since you will get the added benefit of faster spool up.

If you have questions - feel free to give me call!

Billy, if you only have $300, then get these:

- Mail-in Dynoflash $199
- Boost gauge + steering column pod $90

That will be a great start for you and provide NOTICEABLE power gains through the entire power band while also giving you much smoother power delivery all around.
