Default Impulse Buyer of Doom

Okay guys I have 3 months of over time coming up and I can do one of two things, get a cam heads trans and some other goodies with the money or I can pay off 1/4 or more of my car note... Im lookin for opinions cause as some people already know when I get money I look at it and say I wonder if this money can go faster than my car... and it usually does... If I budget myself I could get alot of bolt ons done and some DRs and still pay off about 4k or 3k of my car in three months.

i'd get a stall, exhaust, tune, and DRs and put the rest of the money on the loan. if you get much crazier than that with parts you'll be needing a tranny.

Do keep this in mind. If your going to blow alot of money in performance parts. Your going to have to spend money in upgrades. I noticed you said trans which would be a good idea. But if your running the 10-bolt as well, spend money beefing the hell out of it or get a 12bolt.

Im going to Speed Inc tommarrow to pick up my LTs and install parts then ordering some true duals so the exhaust part is actually seperate from these mods. I dont wanna go nuts with a stall though cause I have to drive it at least this winter. How small could I go and still feel I spent money on something worth while?
