$$$ to spend on parts, what should I buy??? I have $800.00 to spend on car parts. I have 01 z28 m6 with full bolt ons minus an underdrive pulley. The car also some suspension mods, so I would like to get some GO FASTER PARTS..
But what can I get for $800.00. I was thinking a cam and matching valvetrain but even if I do the install myself, it seems priced closer to a $1000.00.
so what would any recommend.. no nitrous either!!
would I benefite buying a bigger intake (bigger then my ls6) and TB?

i doubt your making enough HP to even worry about a TB and larger intake yet...id go with gears... 4.10's or 4.11's..... dont kno what you have for tires.... but drag radials will make a big difference.. and also a short throw shifter.... you can do all that for under $800

I would do a cam, then intake and tb later
How about double timing chain or a ls2 chain?
ported oil pump?
push rods?
valve springs?
tuning software?
tires?
brakes?
exhaust?

here is my list of mods!
LT headers ORY
flowmaster + cutout to bypass the muffler
lid
ported TB w/bumpstop mod
fernco bellow
adj. drag shocks
lowered springs
adj panhard bar
LCA
drilled slotted rotors and hawk pads
Pro 5.0 shifter
BRG KD tires.
I figured the a new intake and TB wouldnt do much since I am only making 350rwhp and 360 rwtq, but it would be a great mod for a future buildup.
I was thinking maybe a cam and springs, that can be bought at my budget but I'm not sure how aggressive of a cam the rest of the valvetrain (lifters, pushrods etc) can support. Plus I'd rather do all the valvetrain as once.
hmm maybe I could just go with an underdrive pulley and SFC or torque arm
I do appreciate all ideas....

SFC, TB bypass, and tune by greenlight motorsports (Chad, sponsor here in Indiana). Don't bother with gears on a stock 10 bolt....wasted money when it grenades! Save up and do Cam/springs/pushrods/lifters all at once along with ported/shimmed oil pump and timing chain....all new gaskets, fluids, etc. (expensive to do, but worth it).
