It depends on if this is your daily driver or not. A more aggressive cam
may make your car somewhat annoying to drive at in-town speeds. But for
daily driving I've found that I get a lot of satisfaction from my momo
because its so comfortable and its what I touch the most in my car. If you
just want it for grip then I have an older one I can sell you for cheap or
you could get a really nice "for looks" one for cheaper than $200 on ebay.
I bet if you tried you could get the wheel, tinting and cam for around $200
if you did Dave's suggestion with the exhaust cam flipped and bought a used
wheel.

Well the wife has approved a little money for the roc for xmas and I was
wondering what to get, I have narrowed it down to the following
1) TT Eurospec Intake Cam $200
2) Coverlay MFG Dash Cap - $107 Shipped (I would do a full write up and post
about quality) it would beat trying to find a crack free dash for a
reasonable price
3) Momo Steering Wheel - $200 (not including adapter)
4) New carpet kit $99 (with write up) adding additional sound pad to reduce
noise
5) Get the windows tinted (I live in Texas and this might be a good thing)
Mind you my limit is $200 so I am trying to get the best bang for the buck,
so if I go with item 1 or 3 I get only one thing. What else is out there, I
know the cam is good for another 5~8 hp so I am not sure if the money is
worth it at this point. Beacause sometime in the future I am upgrading to a
9A block.
Give me you thoughts especially on the the dashcap I have seen them on an
MKI and it is a great fit and the finish is good.
