definitely spend it on some kind of suspension if you will get a cam. yes the throttle body would then help a little with power but thats worthless if you cant put it down. and you especially wont be able to on the cold roads of winter.

talk to strano about it. maybe subframes or panhard bar. get the best mod in that price range for putting that power down.

i think suspension is over rated..

if you get a nice sticky tire under your ***, no need to worry.. of course one you start making some real power you need it.. but other than that, no need.. unless you have the cash to blow.

I say subframe connectors to help keep your chassis from flexing.

I would say subframes or P&P TB and free ram air. Both are very nice mods for the $$$$

A tenth is a tenth. suspension is going to help your 60's no doubt about it.

+1 on subframes at least

Hmmm underdrive pulley sounds good too.

My suspension is bone stock and with this cam I should be over 400RWHP...don't you think SFC's are inline?

Depends on your use of the car. if your going to be doing drag I think I would rather have the UD pulley. although its easy for me to say because I already have SFC's.
Also have you begun saving for a new rear end/clutch? If not I would highly recomend it!

The car is mainly a DD besides winter, it does get dragged but only every now and then.

Also I haven't really began saving for a rear or clutch, but like I said I don't want this money to go towards something more expensive, I want something individually out of it.

My vote is for sfc's. Putting down 400rwhp will definitly be able to flex the chassis.
