My suggestion is NOT buying mods with a credit card. Save your money and get mods once you have cash to pay for them. Just my 2 cents.....

5000 thousand on a credit card! Are you crazy? So if you count interest, you’re looking to spend 10k for 5k worth of mods.

Have a little patience and save some money.

If you can not pay for your mods with cash. Then in my opinion dont mod. If i was 18 - 25 again. I would have racked up 10G's on my CC and had a very badass SS. But I am paying for all my stuff with cash. No sense if paying for your heads and cam for 20 years.

Heads and Cam package from TSP the MS4 cam with it, if its an automatic get a 3600+ Stall, and definantly Nitrous. Oh and if your gonna do the H/C might want to get a Ported LS6 oil pump along with a good tune.

rear end(2k), build the tranny and stall(1k) or ls7 clutch setup, and maybe some suspension if any money is left. if u get H/C, you will break the rear and tranny. no point having 500hp if you can't drive the car

if there's no interest for a long time(currently, probably at least a year), and you can pay off most of the balance before interest starts....there should be no problem using a credit card.

you only live once, you should burn that baby up while you got it! Or you can wait till you are married and she will max it out on something you hate! Dont do it! If you put mods on CC you are . U will be paying intrest (18%) on 3K worth of mods for the next 5 to 7yrs @ $300.00 bucks a month. If I knew who you were I would tell you momma!

don't use a cc. save up and use cash. listen to people who have already done it and regret it.
