i would do rear end, nothing like having the power and then blowing your rear end..

you could buy a 12 bolt or 9'', and do just cam install if you can continue $400 dollars a month saved. Cam only will still be a lot of fun and put your around 370-400 rwhp, and still have fun at the track. Then save for heads?? Either way Rear end or H/C.. but if i were to mine over again i would done rear end first, because im afraid of grenading mine

If it's not paid off then put that $2500 toward the balance you owe. It's no fun to do that, but paying off a car is always a good feeling.

If it is, heads, or a FAST 90/90 and a cam. I have a FAST 90/90 for sale and a G5x3 cam. They are in good condition, and they're in Lincoln (I am from Omaha and have family still in Alliance - Reno).

$1300 for the mani, tb & cam. I can even deliver.

well i put a tranny in my car about 4 months ago,just a rebuild one cuz i didnt have the money to get a good one,and trust me its the weakest link.but i would go with a cam package,hardend pushrods,and a built tranny,and a good tune.i run my car open Y somtimes and it makes just enough power for 2-3 to bounce about 3 times off the red limiter before it shifts.soooo get a tranny at least.

H/C all the way the rear should be fine and the tranny should be ok as long as you don't beat on it everyday and get an aftermarket trans cooler that will help to.

The 10 bolts seem to hold up well in the automatics, so i wouldn't worry about it for now. Get a built trans from a sponsor, drag radials and a tune.

I would buy the built trans. Stock trans are not know to be very strong. The 10 bolt will out last the trans. Friend of mine has H/C 440rwhp 400 and whatever torque on stock 10 bolt and no has problems with it.
