I agree that the money is better spent on other items, but once you have those done, why not pick up the last bits of easy hanging fruit? It's a cheap and pretty easy mod, and every little bit helps!

Edit: is there a bbk that runs in the 800 range? Ones I've seen seem to all be 1200+, and at that price the money does better going into my superchager nest egg. If there is a quality bbk that cheap, might have to look into it!
I edited to say brake upgrades.. you could piece together a used setup (sti?) for around 600-800... buuuut that probably does not ensure quality and YMMV on that one haha

The aluminum driveshafts are super cool, don't get me wrong.. would love to have one, even if it tricks my butt dyno and gives me that much more peace of mind that my severely underpowered engine won't ever twist it (jokes, stu, jokes, don't call that out!)

but they are awesome. Especially if you want to go big, big power, it makes a lot of sense
