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?

With these gas price's, I would say go for the bike. But then again, it would be nice to have a fresh setup in a SOM SS.

Option number 2 has been the choice my wife has let me make! LOL! I will spend about $5K on some nice Edelbrock LS1 Heads, a custom Comp Cam package (lifters, rods and rockers), LT headers (not quite sure wich ones yet) and a dyno tune. Should put out about 435 RWHP, that's enough for me.

Damn 116k on a 01 SOM SS? I hear ya that's the way to enjoy a sweet looking ride. Well my choice would have to be the heads and cam mainly because the wife won't let me get a bike either lol. Good luck.

Be nice to that SOM and give it some new shocks and SFC's to help all that power out.

I have already been nice to her. She has new Ground Control Coil Overs and Koni Sa shocks. BMR LCA's, SFC, Adj. Torque Arm, Adj. PHR, SFCs, 36 mm front sway bar and a 21mm rear sway bar.
