Default What mod to do??

Looking for everyone's input. Not going to rush into anything..

Just paid off the car and have about 5k to spend on mods. Everything is stock with the exception of wheels/tires and blackwing. It has 112k on the odometer and runs great.

Thinking H/C combo + headers or possibly SC.

Looking to get your feedback and experiences.

Your a little short if you want a S/C package on the car unless you can do the work yourself and get a good deal on the S/C. Heads and cam is a possibility. Maybe some headers and rear gears would be a good choice too.

If you can spin your own wrenches $5K should be enough to get a used blower.

You could also get a nice AFR 205 heads + cam combo for under $5K.

A&A was running a PROCHARGER PACKAGE for a sale price of $4500. I know a guy that did it and he said it came with everything you need...two down falls, tuning and fuel pump install. I do agree with everyone else, you will need a few more bucks for the SC, and HEADS and CAM is a good idea!
