Default $600 To Spend!

Alrighty, mods in sig.

I got $600 to blow. Should I save it for a Cam/Install/Tune ($1800) or do something now?

I could get gears for that amount including install and part
Suispension work
Could BUY the stall, but wait for $$ for the install of it.

Any ideas??

Keep saving.

$600 won't buy you much performance unless you pick up a nitrous kit.
Another grand and you'll be in business.

I know it will probably eat a hole in your pocket but I would save for the cam. You'll be happier getting that mod done.

Like most people said, stall the bitch!! Or if ya really wanna do it, spray. Just spend a little more than 6 bills to make sure you got all the parts you need for it bottle warmer, purge ect. Stall will do more for the 1/4 than gears.

-Stall

The Install is easy to do man, you could save a lot, get a friend and install it/anything you could do at home..
