Which mod next?

**Hurley711** · 10-07-2005, 06:29 PM

Springtime I'll be dropping up to $1500 in my TA. What should I go for? It's a daily driver, like suspension mods as mch as power mods. Any suggestions for that kinda $$$ I was thinking bigger cam, then I thought about a nice brake/rotor upgrade. Throw as many diff. ideas at me as you can for a $1500 budget which includes install prices, I'm a dumbass who can't install anything without getting hurt. TIA, current mods in sig, also LS6 intake sitting in garage awaiting install.

Port & polish the MAF housing and the throttle body (you can do these yourself with little cost), get a smooth bellow, and install that LS6 intake. Install an underdrive pulley/harmonic balancer (and the required new belts). Then buy tuning software (I like HPTuners) and give that thing an awesome custom tune. You'll still have about $500 left over for plenty of gas, since you'll be wanting to drive it so much more (not to mention the higher gas prices).

Already have bellow(sig limits how much you can list) Thanks! I'm liking your variety there!

cam kit, install and tuning = about 1500.
thats my answer.
suspension mods have always been last for me.
i hook pretty damm well with my power level and stock suspension.
with a 3 second burnout, i hook at the track no problem.

I can't stand the stock suspension...i'm doing it first before anything else.

Beef up the suspension first...having newfound power and wheel hopping all over everywhere suck donkey balls....:beer3:

Sarge---can't list all my mods in sig. I have BMR LCA, PHR, and SFC already, along with Bilstein HD shocks and a 1LE FSB. Torque arm crossed my mind as an option, any other Suspension mods I am missing. Shocks, SFC, & LCA made a HUGE diff.

if you have long tube headers do not use the eibach pro-kit. I did with my long tubes and they were about 1 1/2 inch off the ground and hit everything.

Def. not lowering the car, I like the way it sits now. I did the free hose mod in the rear to lower that by 1 1/4 inches, I like the way it sits now. With the LT's though lowering isn't an option for me

There are a lot of Long Tube headers that fit just fine with the Pro Kit.

Some of them are terrible for clearance, like the SLPs.
