Just bought a jb3. What mods next.

Hey guys I just ordered a jb3 for my 335. Got the newest one used from a friend so i have an extra $200 ish dollars to spend on other performance upgrades. What do you guys think i should spend it on? I was kind of think a BMS dci, but this is the first car i've modded and i'm not totally sure what will give me the best bang for my buck. Thanks for the help.

BMS DCI will give you best bang for buck...followed by downpipes...used sets come across the classifieds quite often

aFe looks nicer and is a better show piece, but as far as gains go, there has been debate that it actually looses power, there are plenty of arguments about it, just search for them. You can pick up a DCI for about $90 used which is only a few bucks cheaper than a new set and it will perform just as well as a aFe...it all depends on how much you value aesthetics.
