What would you do to your car with $4500?
I have $4500 to spend on some upgrades. I have a 2002 ws6 with a lid, eibach springs, bilstien hd shocks, adj pan hard, line lock, and loudmouth exhaust. It is a 6-speed. I know i want to do QTP headers and borla catback. Thinking about a cam. Don't know which one to do. Would like a mild cam. Right now it is my daily driver. My goals for the car is to get it to the low 12's in the future. Will appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

Hes right man dont go with forced induction unless you already have heads and cam or unless you enough money for low compression and forged internals otherwise you cant even run a good amount of boost IMO. I would get heads 4.10 gears and a streetable cam like a 224/224 .585/.585 with 112 or 114 sep. You would have a mid 11 second car that still runs nicely.

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
nitrous. think about it. The power is there when ever you want, but not when you're just daily driving. You can buy a great remote opening system and all the doodads for a 100hp shot and put you into those lower numbers.

Red Tint Jewelcoat- 2008 Trailblazer SS
Cam (without install prices) will run about $1200. A little more if you upgrade oil pump and timing chain.
Magnaflow catback instead of the SLP.
That makes $1600.
Heads. Patriot stage II's would be great over a 228/228 cam. $1100.
Up to $2700.
Subframe connectors would be a must. $140 plus having them welded in.
$2840.
LCA's and relocation brackets. $200 plus welding install.
$3040.
Sticky tires. MT's for the track on some used 16" wheels. $450-500.
$3500.
And since you wanted QTP headers....
$4500 (give or take)
Enjoy the 11's.

Heads and Cam, $1895: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...e1fcba5ab49a41
plus the things Mr. Luos said. And might want to start thinking about that rearend, and definately a clutch. On the $1000 saved with the H/C package, that should net you a clutch.
