Default Need advice

I know we all like to go fast but i need some advice here..My interior is not in the greatest shape and that honestly bothers me. It bothers me more than being slow believe it or not. I have roughly 355rwhp with an ls6 cam and full exhaust. Now, should i

A. Get an ls6 intake manifold , g5x3 cam, all valvetrain parts and a tune. (very expensive because i dont do labor)

B. Get sick leather seats and fix other interior

Idk if its worth to get a cam. I'll just get sick of the power in 3 days and it doesn't stop. My last car had 550rwhp and it was slow after a week...Alot of people feel that a ok looking 9 second car is better than a beautiful 11 second car. I dont know if i feel that way..

sounds like your car is plenty fast enough right now (even though you can never be too fast!) i would go with the interior. i'm the same way with my car.

id say spend some good money on the interior, your car can be fast, but if you feel terrible sitting in it it wont matter.
