Question What to do....What to do???

Aight, here's the deal. Been saving up over the winter to do something big to the ride and I've pretty much narrowed it down to two options (one being a bit more expensive then the other).

Option 1- I buy the 18x9 ADVAN RS's I've been slobbering over for almost a year now. This is the costly option but not really a BAD one being that I put down 398whp and 393tq during my last tune. I think that power should get me through the summer...I hope.

Option 2- I buy 1000cc injectors, a new clutch, summer tires for my stock rims, and do an E85 tune. By doing this I'll make a significant jump performance wise and start working toward laying down "stupid horse power" but probably have to deal with my current wheels for another summer.

So what do ya'll think, go for "show" or "go"?

Really depends on which you value more. Personally, I'd go for option 2, especially considering what I predict gas prices will jump to this summer.

I love the RS's but since they seem to be everywhere I'll vote for option 2

That kind of power is enough to get me in trouble, so i'd say option #1 maybe different wheels though.

I'm running a 3071R. That's why I need to jump up to 1000cc's from my current 750's in order to really feel the benefit of the E85 tune.
