Default Suggestions wanted: next mod?

My current mods are listed in the sig. I dont have the money to do a head and cam, but maybe just the cam/rockers.

Or maybe the C5 brake conversion. What's next?

Gears + 10 bolt + T-56 = Car sits for a long while.

Put the money aside until you have enough for the full heads and cam swap.

i would say save up for the heads/cam OR start modding up the suspension...LCA's...SFC's...Shocks/Springs (assuming from your sig ur still at stock ride hieght)...front and rear sway bars...torque arm and so on you choose...nothings better than having a stiff, powerful car and being able to put that power to the road!

Ditch the ORY and Loudmouth 1 for an x-pipe and some single chambers. Then, get some LCA's, PHB, DR's, and a tune.

I'd say 12 bolt w/4.10's and a great quality torque arm, relocation brackets, then front coil-over shocks, and hang a wheel.

I agree with the 4.10's, and maybe some subframe connectors. Made a world of difference on my car.
