Default What to do with $700?

I have $700 to spend on my unmodified (as of yet) '99 M6 Camaro SS vert. I've been seriously looking at LT's and a cam, but I can't to both, so I need help choosing. What do you recommend? Or if you have any other ideas, send em my way. Thanks.

Mike

Nitrous. LTs and a y pipe will run 700 if not more. You cant get a cam without springs. Go with a 100 shot and your car will even sound and look stock. I plan on getting a TNT 100 wet shot hopefully this month.

You can't get anything. So give me the money. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Get a lid and a catback w/ an electric cutout. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

give the money to me and contribute to the help austin go faster fund. Its for a good cause honestly <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Lid,catback,cutout, cant go wrong with any of those. but it is an ss so you already have a pretty damn good cat back on it so if you want headers you can get the jet-hot coated lt's for about 511 shipped to your door right now the all you need is a y-pipe and if you want a few extra ponies out of it and alot more noise put an electric cutout in the i-pipe.

I just had hooker lt's and a cutout and my stock ws6 catback installed. It sounds bad ***.

Just my .02

lid, catback, smaller crank pulley since it's a m6, all good mods, but I'll admit the nos is hard to resist! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Thanks y'all. I'm definitely not going for N2O, I want the power all the time, not just some of the time. But I think I'll go with the LT's...
