Default What would you do?

assuming you had 6-8k to blow, has to cover installation costs as well, to finish off the car?

My initial thoughts were fuel system, ignition, heads, 9" and new 4.10s and tune. Maybe a fast 90/90 set up.

The rearend is a must. I have 17x9.5 and 17x11 rims w tires otw. They dont count towards the total.

Goal is still for a streetable DD car.

I am pretty happy with the cam. Want to stay with n/a.

Well unless you just wanna spend a whole lot on fuel & ignition, you won't need much in that area. I'd just get some 36# injectors & a in-line Walbro pump to cover the fuel system. Thats plenty for a H/C set-up.

Then a nice set of heads, 9" & 90/90 if you set on that intake set-up. It'll be close if you pay for labor too & thats with gettin the TSP PRC heads for about $1200 shipped.

Adding it up in my head I dont see being able to do a fuel system ,heads, a rear end, ignition and gear + a tune plus all the labor. That rear end is going to be around $2200 alone + the gear and installation. I would put a good set of heads with a rear end, your ignition is fine. You fuelsystem should be decent but I would throw in a racetronix kit for good measure. Keep an eye on the injector duty cycle.
