$2,500. 2 spend rearend or cam and more bolt ons? What's your opinion? I have done exhaust, lid etc. Should I go with a cam swap or go with a rear and suspension? I do plan on motor upgrades in the future. Also my current 10 bolt already has a serious whine in it.

Another vote for doing rear and suspension first. I am considering the same thing as you and I am going to get suspension then get a stronger rear so I can run a better tire and launch the car hard without having to worry about snapping the stock rear.

Go with the rear, you are going to bust the stock one. I have an auto and with bolt ons and 125 rwhp shot I busted my 10 bolt on the street. I was not even using nitrous when it happened.

Rear.
My 10 bolt was doing fine, so I went heads/cam and I already had N2O. First time I tried to air it out at the track on spray I blew the posi to hell on the 1-2 shift on Nitto DRs. Now I have to hear it from the local guys cause I won't take it to the track for fear of blowing it again, and I won't race any other way besides a 2nd gear roll. Hindsight is 20/20
