CAI and Y-Pipe, or high performance clutch and short shifter?
ok guys, well it seems uncle sam is gonna pay off some stuff for me, and also finish up my suspension mods... sprints, agx's, rsb... already got cattman fstb... anyways, my question is, should i use the rest of the money for a CAI and Y-Pipe, or should i upgrade to a high performance clutch and get a short shift kit... cuz see, when i bought my car it had 90K on it, and currently has 103K on it, but i dont know how abusive the owner b4 me was... should i go ahead and upgrade to a high performance clutch and get the shift kit, cuz then id have that out of the way and can tie up other money later in more performance mods and wont have to worry too much about my clutch goin out and leaving me sol somewhere... what do u guys think?

Same as stated above
Was the car purchased off a lot or from a private owner. A private owner can give you history report about the car, from a lot who knows if the previous owner just replaced the clutch within 10-15K ago. So unless your present clutch starting to show signs of slippage I say go with the other mods. Besides most stock clutch in decent condition can hold up to most if not all n/a mods. Besides completing your suspension mods, ever thought of upgrading your brake system. I'm a firm believer in upgrading your suspension, brakes, engine, others in that order.

i have thought of upgrading my brake system actually... i had my brake pads changed a few months ago, and ever since they squeal like hell... i want to do that over the summer, but not sure which setup is best... anyways, i think i may go with the CAI and Y-Pipe first, then upgrade my clutch, cuz it doesnt slip or anything, and seems to be fine, i just know what its like to have a clutch go out on you, and since i purchased the car from a lot, i wanted to be on the safe side... btw candiman, u have a pretty tite looking 3rd gen!
