Default Need some advice!!!!!

Mods in sig. Which route should I go next suspension or cam? For suspension I was going to get SFC, rear drag sway bar, possibly some shocks, (at least in the rears). Also how big of a cam do you guys recomend if I were to go that route. This is not my daily, but I do drive it from time to time in the summer to work and stuff. I drag some weekends. Just let me know what you guys think.

if 1/4 time is your priority start with suspension parts. if street races are then get a cam.

Like all stated before...power is useless if you don't have a medium of using it. I put on my LCAs, Panhard Bar, and new bushings for my sway bar this weekend (very easy install, took me about three hours to do everything). HUGE improvement launching and over-all drive-ability.

All depends on whats important to you, suspension upgrades are pretty cheap. LCA's, sway bars and some subframes and you'll be looking good...cam's a whole different beast...can get pricey depending on if you do your own work, what parts and the tune.

If your not at the track all the time with a sticky tire, cam > rear > suspension.

If you race at the track all the time rear > suspension > cam
