Pulling the motor out of my friends 02 WS6. Spun rod bearing @ 34k miles.

Hes got close to 2k mod money. What should he buy? While the motor will be out. Hes thinking of picking up a cam. We will be doing all the work.

He doesnt want to spend all of his money on heads. So any suggestions?

His current mods are: lid, slp 85mm maf,borla exhaust, jet hot long tube headers. 4.11 gears. M6.

Also, how much does it cost to get new pistons.. Which ones should he get if he plans on running nitrous with the new setup + new cam?

Definitely research a good cam. Then upgrade the valvetrain (springs,pushrods & timingchain). JE pistons are excellent & I also would recommend you upgrade your rod bolts to some stronger ARP's if your gonna juice it. Then get a good tune & you'll be haulin *** !
