What to buy with $600- yay taxes

I just got my taxes back, I want to put a portion of it towards the car. Whats the biggest bang for the buck that I can get for a HP/TQ upgrade.

So far only performance mods I have are CAI, short throw shifter, and torque dampener.

I'm looking at stage kits, for the money I'm looking at CA stage 3 plus upgraded injectors #60.

I'm getting a house soon (in April) so I need to get my last upgrade before I'm broke . So any suggestions or builds of any sort will help. TY.

if you are not worried about warranty, forget GM stage kits

CA
TAG Racecraft
and Intense

all offer great kits. i'll keep my biasis out of this thread. just spend your money on an aftermarket kit if you are looking for more power.

although, wait for more options until you buy. turbo and s/c swap kits are on the verge of domination

I would do custom exhaust (not prepackaged 600 dollar ****), 2.8, 42lbs, and find someone around you with hp tuners to give you a good custom tune. I think that should cost you under 500 bucks and give you the most safe bang for your buck.

I know a dealership in Western MI that will install for 2 hrs of labor. You won't find cheaper, PM me if you want details.
