Most logical modification

So I just fell into about $600 and I want to dump it into the Lude...I have Intake, header, and clutch. What would be the most logical modification for me now? Im looking for Horsepower...it doesnt even have to be a performance part, are there any maintenance projects that I should do first, before mods? This is my DD so I want to keep it running.. Any suggestions?

save it. you could probably get an exhaust but most good ones are gonna use up most of that money.

cams, need more money. your best bet is basically NOS.

It won't produce any HP, but get suspension or tires. Money cannot be spent any better on a car than those 2 things (in my opinion at least).

I wouldn't invest money in trying to make the lude faster unless you're willing to spend a lot. With the 600 bux I'd focus on maintenance depending on mileage and replace anything that worn down and needs to be replaced. If everything is in good working order I'd go for suspenion.

I'd probably go with suspension though.

Lance:
"Since you have intake and a header, I'd go with exhaust....blah blah blah"

Im thinking exhaust...I got good tires about three months ago. Good brands for prelude exhausts?? I dont want a HUGE muffler tip, but I want good tone. I heard Skunk 2 is good...

skunk2 is good...but basically with any catback you pay $500 for noise and 5hp. i'd go with the rsr...it sounds nice. reminds me of the miata with the greddy/trust catback and JR header/high flow cat.
