What next?


Alright guys, I just came into a shit ton of money (about a grand) and I was wondering what mod I should do next?

Currently I have a Edelbrock Victor Intake Manafold, Edelbrock 650 Carb and some Nitto street/drag tires on the car.

I just bought some cool racing seats off of ebay and was thinkig of a nice cam and lifters set.

I'm open to any idea's of power adders and why.

thanks

I would recommend putting the money in heads, either get a set of gt40p's and some suspension. Or you could pick up a set of nice used trickflows/afr's with the money.

Cool. I found some Gt-40P's at junk yard a while back.

If I buy them should I get them rebuilt?

trick flow twisted wedge heads.

Most people regreat buying GT40's if there out for a decent amount of power. GT40's are for if you dont mine making 270hp as a max.

take the p's to a shop and ask how much to have them redecked if they need it, new guides installed and the right springs for your cam, if its more than 350 or so then save. Any used heads you buy should be checked out as well

Hahaha. Well you gotta understand that $1000 is a lot to me. I'm still in H.S. and my monthly income is $400.

So forget the Gt-40P's!?!?

Save for Twiseted wedge heads?
