Default RE: My next mod(s)?

My suspension is pretty tight right now as it is with the new springs and control arms. I kinda like to touch one area a little bit at a time like I've done so far, got all of the motor mods done first, then I did the gears, then the tranny, then suspension, and now I think I need a little more heat under the hood. Plus a blower just sounds bad ***.

A blower would be nice but you'll be more impressed if you do heads and cam first.

If I was to do heads and a cam I would also need to get a manual valve body because the cam (unless there's a decent one that redlines at 5200 rpms) would change my shiftpoints.

How about sub-frame connectors? and if you already got those.. then i would vote for a procharger. +1 on getting Blown.

I think you should do heads/cam first, then the blower. For the money I think the heads/cam will give you more power with what you have now.

True, where does the TF stage 1 stop making power at? For those of you with the TF stage 1 cam, where do you shift at?

Do the heads and cam before the supercharger. Id stick with a Trickflow Cam and the matching Trickflow Heads. They make great power. They will also help you out if you eventually get a supercharger for your car. As for what kind of supercharger...Id go all out and get the Kenne Bell. Awsome low end power and torque. You wint need a tall gear to get you into the powerband like a vortech or procharger would need.

The KB is really expensive though, if I was going to spend that much, I'd spend it on a turbo kit. I'll probably go ahead and do the heads and a cam, idk.
