what would you recommend?
 
Hey everyone, I currently have ~$200 burning a hole in my pocket, and I was wondering what would be the most bang for the buck mod? I was thinking about purchasing a new cam, as I have been wanting to for some time, but need some advice as to what I should get if I get one. I bought the car almost how it is and dont think the guy I bought it from has touched that area. anything I would need to replace with a new cam? and I was thinking maybe a b303?

what do you guys think?

you'll need more than 200.00 to do a cam even if doing it yourself!!!...B-cam = 180.00, retainers, springs,locks and gaskets, whenIt was all said and done after I did my f-cam swap after all fluids and oil was purchased I had a little over 500.00 in the whole job worth of parts and supplies:D

Save up a little more and get some nitrous thats the best bang for the buck.

if you want something in the ~$200 range i'd suggest some subframe connectors or lower control arms, maybe both depending on the brands you go with.

mjr!!! ahhh dont tell people to get those god awful things haha. for 200 dollars you can get yourself some good aftermarket gauges such as an oil and temp gauge. You dont want to have your oil pump seize on you and have the stock gauge not even move, cough dimebag lol.

that's why I said I hate to suggest it but some people just get them anyway..personally 200.00 if I had it..I'd save it up for a bigger mod:D
