$2700 to spend, ideas?
Trust me, I've inquired about the TSP Stainless, and it's almost double the price for everything shipped compared to the BBK's. It's a helluva deal for stainless no doubt, but can't beat the value of the BBK's.
The BBK's come with free shipping, the TSP's don't, I'd rather stretch the budget out a bit more to get more for my dollar, at least for now.
If I hit my next sales bonus, I'll probably ****** up a Moser/Ford 9" with gears.

Get a 1 7/8" primary stainless header and a LS7 clutch. If you daily drive the car, the LS7 clutch is the best choice. Pedal feel is soft compared to aftermarket clutches and engagement is smooth. You don't have to deal with chatter. I daily drive my car and I put a performance clutch in it and it gave me nothing but problems. Put the LS7 in and its been great since.

I'm one of those guys that actually likes daily driving my car. I enjoy it to the fullest and i can afford the gas. Its definitely therapy after a stressful day at work to walk out and see the batmobile waiting on me, then banging gears all the way home with that GMMG barking... Priceless.

While your in Cali, those BBK's should last longer than they would where I live. Honestly though, I wouldn't cut corners. Buy the stainless headers and NEVER buy headers again! Seriously, you're going to be kicking yourself in a few years when your headers look like hell. Thats just my opinion.

Okay since nobody said it; don't buy regular poly LCAs! Bind, Bind Bind!
The only poly bushing LCAs I recommend is the J&M LCAs w/POLY-BALL Bushings, no bind, quiet, and there only about $115. Or get a set of UMI LCAs w/roto-Joints($250).

I'm curious what makes you say that? Aside from not being stainless, I really like them. I've got the ceramic setup on my car and they fit great, look great and sounds great. I researched before i bought them too, and the gains were comparable to more expensive setups.
