Default got some money, what to buy
ive got 700 bucks to buy parts with. i need a new clutch so im gonna go with the ls2/ls7 clutch kit so thats 400 so that means ive got 300 bucks to buy some more parts. right now the car has
pacesetter longtubes
catted y
cutout
p&p tb
slp flo pac
and 4.10's

i found a good deal for a ported weiand aluminum intake, but would i be money ahead to put some more money to that and buy a ls6 or would the weiand intake work good for me. or is there another mode that will benifit me more than the intake.

future plans are: TR 224/224 cam and TSP 5.3 heads.

so please let me know what to buy.

For that price range, I would get an LS6 intake as well. Maybe a tune if you haven't already done so.
