Deployment money ideas

So currently I'm deployed to Afghanistan. And I've done some numbers on how much I'm going to make and when I return home, I would like to drop a few grand into my car. Only problem is I dont know which direction to take it.

-I first wanted to do a 35r setup and shoot for high power. But if I take that route there will be numberous things that need to be upgraded, and will probably cost me a lot more than I want to spend.

-Other direction I'm debating on is cleaning her up some, i.e. new wheels (legit wheels), maybe a slight sound system in it, seats/steering wheel, possibly aero or something.

The car currently has a BNR stage 3 with supporting mods, and the guy i bought the setup from dyno'd at 342whp, stock ports, on 14lbs. My goal is fix the boost controller and push 15 daily on streetports and shoot for 350ish and call it a day.

Anyone with high power or super clean cars wanna leave some input on how they like what they have or wish they had the opposite. Pro's/Con's. Thanks for the help guys! If you wanna check out my car, you can go to my album. Dont wanna put more than 7-8k into it.

spent my deployment money on the cleanest fc around my area and basic upgrades. if you looking for 8ish HP id say dump money into the looks. or... 20b? we got short toured so i lost ALOT of money i had planned for, which would have gone into a swap.

I'd clean it up however you want if it's already pushing 340rwhp. That's a fairly high power level. I'd replace any broken trim, fix any minor issues and then enjoy it.
