What to buy with $1000
I have $1000 left to mod my car right now. So far i have headers, billet grill,black stripes. What do I get??? SS hood, Rims, Cam, ls6 intake+ rims? I just dont know what to do. Surely theres been others in this situation and what have they done. Thanks

You could buy a ls6 and cam, pushrods, springs and gaskets for under 1k. Thats a bare bones cam swap. If you wanted a new timing set, ported oil pump, lifters, it would set you over 1k and you would still need a new tune. So I would say go Ls6 intake, FTRA, and a tune. You would still need a retune when you get a cam, but many shops do not charge alot to update tunes. This will give you good bang for the buck, because the tune will allow you to gain hp from the tune and also more hp out of you mods giving you the most for your money.

^^^Probably not. Most shops will prolly charge you at least $800 just for the install. It's a lot of labor. You don't hafta drop the motor, but a lot of shops want to. Best bet is to do it yourself with someone who's done it before.

LS6 intake and a tune. A cam will be well over $1000 when you add in the tune and all other supporting parts pushrods,gaskets etc. My cam, cam install with tune was well over 1700 at one of the best priced shops and sponsors here
