Well its the TA in sig, so you can see i have pretty much all the bolt-ons and a 100 shot. My next round is about to begin. Which would you guys do

A. New PRC 243 CNC heads, VHP Cam, and all the other supporting parts pushrods, new chain, etc. and keep car lookin stock


B. Torque Thrust II's (17x9,17x11) tires, VHP cam and ZO6 valve springs(cam only .551 lift)

Basicly its heads vs. wheels.......if my car was completely stock then performance over looks anyday, but the car is already pretty quick and im just scared of turning my daily driver into somethin with shitty MPG, driveability issues, and even reliability problems (still on stock tranny). And i know power costs and it breaks stuff. Thanks guys

I would say rims since it's your daily driver, plus it would look badass too.

I vote B for the daily driver. You could also look in to some thing like the TR224 or the TR220 cams. They arent verry agressive and you wouldn't have any driveability issues.

I pick A, these cars look badass as is. Plus, those mods aren't gonna hurt driveability one bit.
