Default What to spend $$ on???

I am going to have about 1K to spend on the car. Should I get LCA/UCAs, Subframe connectors, and torque box kits, what ever else to make car hook better. OR Get the CMS Stage 2 N/a Cams and springs and dyno tune it? What do you guys think?

Thanks Matt

What can the factory axles handle as far as abuse?

Hook once at any level and you'll find out real quick, lol.



400ish but the better you hook the less it will last. soooooo, either buy cheap tires or a ram clutch.

With enough traction, you will/can destroy a rear-end with 100 HP. I say, forgo the HP route and go suspension mods for twisties


























































what?

So 31 spline axles, spec clutch, UCA/LCA's, Subframe connectors, and torque box kit. Do those parts sound like a sound investment??

^ Full-length SFC's are ALWAYS a great investment on an SN95.

If looking at LCA's/UCA's, I recommend ones that have a spherical end on each to reduce the bind of your 4-link out back. Look into UPR for some great parts for this issue.
