what would you do if you had about 1600 to spend?

im going on a road trip from st paul MN to Phoenix AZ. I was thinking about spending this on replacing my distributor cap and rotor, electric water pump, tune and a cc503 cam.

car has 110000 miles, headers, intake, nitto tires and i replaced the fuel pump, spark plug wires, ignition coil, spark plugs, fpr and fuel filter over the winter.

well if u are putting that cam in i hope you are also doing new springs pushrods rockers...the whole works in the valvetrain. how are your shocks? just me put if i was about to go on a road trip i wouldnt be throwing a cam in and doing too much...i would wait till after the road trip. nothing like getting stranded 1000 miles from home

i think he is saying instead of going on the trip, what could he spend the $1600 he would be spending on the trip.

whats an le setup

rufrntn

good question! it sounds expensive.

the road trip would be in july so i have plenty of time to make sure the car is running fine.

He cant do an le setup for 1600. I would hold off on the cam and save for an le setup. Or maby do some suspension stuff. Thats what i would do.

an le setup is a lloyd elliot setup. he has head n cam packages and along with AI is one of the top two most popular lt1 guys to go to for heads n cam

rufrntn

so he will suggest a good head and cam combo for my mods?

What gears in the rear-end? Stock stall and 2.73's would defintely be less than ideal even for a moderate cam such as that.

stock stall and 3.23's.

I was thinking the le set up was around 1200 plus rockers, guide plates, pushrods and injectors. So I guess your looking at around $1800, plus a tune. I was $350 off but it would be worth it if you have all the other bolt ons in place.
