Depending on how much you are getting take a little bit of it and do with it what you like but dont spoil yourself too much. Take it from me, once its gone its gone. My father died when I was 15, when I turned 18 I recieved some $$$. WORST IDEA ever to give an 18 yr old large amounts of money. Guess who was in high school with 2 brand new cars (both custom), 2 brand new snowmobiles, a new motorcycle and a 38' power boat on the river... yeah that was me. Had a ton of fun and the ladies loved me but those days are over. Spent money like that for like 5 years. Makes me want to now because I really have nothing to show for it. I was smart enough to purchase a few rental properties and an apartment complex but still. Saved some money but could have retired in my late 30's if I played my cards right.
Moral of my story is dont blow it, save it for a rainy day or get an education. A wise man once told me there is only one thing that no one can take away from you... an education. He ended up dieing of Alzheimer's but its still good advise

If you decide you want to spend it then I would go with a D1SC Procharger, Calies rotating assembly, AFR heads (do research on valve springs), check around on a TB, some will open up under boost. Should be good for atleast 600RWHP

Do Splayed caps for sure if your boosting it
Thanks guys, I appreciate all of your concern. I am currently getting my Criminal Law Degree/Psychology And Taking a Counter Terrorism Course. I hope to work for US Marshals, FBI or maybe if I am lucky CIA, NSA (Not all of them of course just my main options) I am very big on education. Still working on my Parts list, with school and a 4yo daughter (Not to mention things with the GF not going so good) I have been very busy. Ill post up when I can.
