Default Decision time.....

I have $7500 from a tax rewturn to spend.
1. Should I buy that motorcycle I really want or.
2. Should I refresh my 116K old LS1 with heads/cam/push rods/lifters etc.?

What's your vote?

Buy you about a 3 - 4000 dollar bike and then heads and cam the car.

You can get a nice bike for 3000. You can get a pretty late model 600 pretty cheap. Check cycle trader.

Build a Forged 402 and drop her in place of the old 346, swap your intake pick out a nice street cam and some good flowing heads. Should be every bit of 7500.00 and maybe more. Good luck, you have lots of options.

Fresh heads, cam, pr's, lifters, etc, still 116k on the pistons/rings/suspension etc. Like I said you have lots of options.

Suspension is brand new, GC coil overs with Koni SA shocks. My engine is as tight today as it was new.
