waiting to be put in "detroit rocker cam", and bbk ceramic shortys

before i put in the next two mods.. anything worth buying before everything gets dyno'd?

Forget the shorties dude. Same amount of effort and time to install as long tubes. Pypes Lt's sell for $499 via brenspeed and you can get them with h or x pipe. Lts will bring those d rockers alive!

Do you have an auto or manual? If you have an auto, I would get a tq converter. If you have a manual, I would get a short throw shifter (your choice) and a CHE-K member brace w/tq limiters. This makes shifting smoother and will eliminate miss shifts.

I have a manual and MGW shifter already. I cant get lt because of emissions in VA, so shorties is what im stuck with. besides that, electric water pump is an option, what about the gt500 TB? is that worth getting on my NA, to go along with the cams?

Damn emissions testing crap.......I would forget the TB, save you money, aint worth it IMO. Car will pull nicely with that setup and sound like a SOB!!!

If you plan on racing the car at the strip, I would get the CHE k-member brace and some sticky tires (Drag radials). I would get these before the cams but if you never plan on taking your car down the track I would skip the tires.

yea. emissions.. gotta love it! Yea i was just wanting to buy something else so I can put 3 mods on my car, but im happy with the cams and shorties. Frpp intake manifold and tb are parts i want, but not worth the money now for my set up. I appreciate the guidance! Ill post numbers whenever I finally get to the install and dyno.
