Best mod for under $800?
Ok so I just sold a load of old camera equipment and I've got an $800 paypal balance burning a hole in my pocket.
What mod(s) would you consider best for $800 or under on a base c6?
I've already done the following:
Rear spoiler
blacked out lights
upgraded stereo
killer bee intake
MGW shifter
splash guards
jack pucks
drl switchback harness and bulbs
Eventually I'm going to s/c the car, so I was looking at maybe a dashlogic + plx wideband in anticipation for the mod, but then I dont know if I would be better off with something that has logging or tuning facilities?
Or are there some other 'must have' mods I havent yet read about?

The mod you will feel the most, without question, is the COW Booster for $99 or the other Vitesse throttle modifier. Either makes the car feel like it gained 50 hp around town.
If you want real power the best mod is headers but you can't get them for $800 unless you find a used set.

Handling....
Sway Bars
1 inch lowering
Alignment
Corner Weight
Tunnel Plate
Then
Tune is good as mentioned in other posts above.
Throttle Controller mentioned in other threads.
Other
Transmission and differential oil change.
That should spend all your money...your welcome.
Have fun.
