Default what to do with extra cash??

Okay so when all is said and done after the tax refund gets here I will have approx a grand to throw at the car. Only question is what to do? Mods on car include LTs ORY 3" cutout, flowmaster catback, TR reverse split cam, hardened pushrods, SLP flowpac induction, 180 therom, Slp line lock, LCAs and relocation brackets, adjustable panhard bar, Edelbrock torque arm, LS6 intake, ported TB, !EGR/AIR, TB bypass, and ud pulley... Do I go for heads next? Was talking with TSP today and their CNC dart heads are ready to roll flow 330 @ .600 according to their site. Been looking at these for a long time now but still not sure what to do.

any suggestions are appreciated

Save your money and buy a 12 bolt with 4.11's.

With your current power, 6 speed, and the line lock telling me you go to the strip, your 10 bolt is probably going to die.

You will be able to run some stickies and get that thing ETing its ***** off.



OR, you could buy a lowering kit/shocks for it. QA1's all around with some drop springs in the rear. That color, on those wheels, lowered, would be teh mean.

yeah been thinking about the lowering thing, but guys around this area are always complaining about bottoming out.. I guess that is all in how youdrive.

contemplating the rear idea, but well I guess when that breaks I got a real good excuse with the wife to buy a new one..HAHA
