$8500 dollars to spend what would you do ?
Ok i just got off the phone with Rick from rkt56.com and im ready to sell my repsol so once i do ill have about $8500 dollars to put into the camaro . Rick was saying that the rebuild is $450 for labor and the upgraded was $650 so $1100 then i need the 2nd gear fixed so i might as well change all the gears and sink rows <--- dont know the spelling ... so im guessing about $2500 spent on just the tanny so now im down to $6000 what should i buy the car all just about all stock except , headers , flow master exhaust which im changing the tips to a cme , msd spark plug wires , intake which kinda looks rigged so im going to change that as well . I also want to get a set of deep dish z06 rims which i found on ebay for $600 then a nice set of tires not sure which ones i want but i would like to know what i should buy , engine , drive shaft , rear , ? ? please let me know what i should get and about how much it is and where i can find it because im new to all these part and dont even know where to start. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS

im a big fan of spintech exhaust not to many people no about them but they sounds really good imo, the loud mouth from slp is loud!! but its a love it or hate it loud.. u just have to get on youtube an look an see what u think sounds good...
the reason i said flows r trash is heard people loseing power from them... how true that is idk but i dont like the way they sound lol

I would just change the muffler of the flowmaster versus the whole cat-back. I like the loudmouth personally but many people don't.

The tyranny should be under $2k. I was going to sobs swap and a new built stage 3 guaranteed to 700ftlbs of tq with no trade was going to be $2k shipped to my door or shop, from tick performance. I agree with a new rear and the heads and cam will give you some good power or if you can find a deal like my friend who got.a.used vortech charger for $2500 that will also give.you a good gain especially if you have enough left for.a.good cam spec'd for the blower.

The first question that should have been asked is what are your goals for this car?

Rear end: MWC 9", Dana 60, Strange 12 bolt, Moser 9"
Trans: get new synchronizer keys, steel 3-4 fork, sliders and hubs...if a lot of power you might want to consider the Viper input shaft
Suspension: Koni shocks, Strano lowering spring, sub-frame connectors, adjustable torque arm, lower control arms, lower control arm relocation brackets
Just look at my sigBoost gets you laid, unless your name is Jon.

Navy Blue Metallic- 98 T/A, 00 FBVert, 78T/A
Wish I had $8500, for me this list would be what I'd do except the LTs because I already have them.
3000 for new 9" or 12 bolt rear from Mid West Chassis
3800 for LS6 crate from Scoggin Dickey
1200 for Lvl 2 Tranny Build from Tick Performance
500 for Pacesetter LTs and ORY or UMI Suspension upgrades

STS is junk and I would NEVER go with a rear-mount turbo. Just my .02.

Not disputing that they don't put down good numbers...
Just that they have issues. With anything, some people like to just spend as little as possible to get a good bang for their buck and not think about long-term.
