im about to put some $ into my car whats best time improver i should go with?

i have a little bit saved up and i want to put it into my car, i been thinkin alot about it, i have borla exhaust 99 chrome Z wheels, thats all...stock rest...not even cat back just muffler for borla....ne way, i can get just a supercharger,...or i can do multitude of things....headers, full suspension ..i hear LCA's help out ALOT traction wise, and possibly put a 75 shot w/ purge etc.... dont wanna get 2 much spray 100k miles..it is 6 speed, clutch, and 6al ignition...just way i see it is....if i go with the loads of minor stuff...ill launch harder with the LCA's suspension etc etc but then ill tear my rear end up faster....rather than a supercharger and not having to launch as hard racing around town....kinda ill when i got beat by a GSX (all wheel drive turbo eclipse) the other day...i had him off the line by about 2 cars but afer that he started pulllin and i was illlllllll ...4 banger was pulling on my v8??? what hte hell...and i do no how to drive my 6 speed...any wya just lookin for a little advice....and if i do go with the minors and get headers, should i go longtube and 4get about cat? i have no emissions...any ways ugys let me know, preciate it....glenn

IMO do mods that will keep you from major damage on the rearend. CAI LT headders/high flow cat. Maybe a cam too if you have enought left over.

Usally I would just say go with N20 But you have a 6 speed.And busting rear ends can get pricy If you want to hookup that is if you just want something to go fast on street tires then juice the crap out of it.

i did all the building up i had to BEFORE i modded for speed...

rearend
tranny and cooler and such
converter
and some slicks


then i planned on building the ****er up...


never got the chance


but... if your willing to spend the money on a fricken SC'er... do the rearend first....

other than that this is what i suggest

mac mids - $450
cc306 cam - $200
slp cai - $200
ported lt4 heads - GUESSING about $1500-2000
58mm TB - GUESSING about $500
electric cutout - $100
