400 to spend. What to get?

I just bought some zr1 wheels (17 by 11's ) and have 400 leftover. What should i get. I know most of you say a cam, but it cost more than that after extra parts to go with it plus i dont have a bunch of time to install it. So what should i get???

I would go with the above statement, a good mail-order tune is cheap and will wake the car up. Also, as a side note, did you have any issues running the 17x11 wheels? Did you have to use an adjustable panhard rod or bang the fenders or anything like that? Just curious, I was considering a set of ZR1s as an upcoming upgrade and was looking at the 17x11s.

well, this is just "extra money". I make good money as a buisness rep(while going through college) and i still save. So i want to spend it, and no, i will not just ship it to someone
