Default Need help on what to go get

I have about 400 bucks right now and I'm about to get about 150 more in a few days so I actually have some money right now. This will be my first mod to my car and I'm trying to figure out what I should get. At first I was thinking about getting the LS7 kit which includes the LS2 flywheel because I've noticed at WOT when I shift the clutch doesn't stick right away. Then I thought about getting a cam, but there's no point in a cam when I can't shift properly. Now I'm thinking about getting some new tires for my old wheels so I can get rid of my crappy ghetto rims that I have on my car right now. I'm just not sure what to get. Does anyone have any suggestions?

depends on what you want to do with the car? just a nice show-like car you want to drive around, a car for cornering, a car for drag... it just all depends on what YOU want to do in the long run....

Hmm... I see well I want to eventually build a nice street car. My goal is to have about 450hp. I will eventually upgrade the suspension, but right now I'm focusing on power.

Fix whatever is broken before you upgrade. If you're clutch is slipping then start there.

I agree with SSbowtie.... if your clutch is slipping then upgrade/fix that but first you have to identify whats wrong with it....
