That's tough. All of those are very necessary.



You forgot one choice though, you need a dyno

You can do so much more with a lift than any of the other stuff.. although there all nice to have.

I voted lift. Do you currently have some sort of other kind of lift? For everything else on the list, it seems as if you already have something that "can do for now," you just need better. But for the lift, that's something that you don't have and need, not something that needs improvement.



am I right?
