The 6k question

Have 6k as a budget beginning of next year. Now, for all of you veterans, what kind of mods should I get? Already have CAI, exhaust, window valet and some interior and exterior blings.

Thanks

My vote...long tube headers, big cam, underdrive pulley, heads, etc.

A supercharger would be nice, though

Gears and clutch, or gears and high stall TC. (don't know what tranny you have) would give you a nice boost. Better wheels would make a nice car even sweeter! If you like the thin spokes get some polished ones.

For performance... Call me

You are a bad influence! Saw and heard your set up and now my dad is seriously looking at his choices!

I think LT and headers for me...maybe wheels? SC is nice too!

How about some aftermarket or sport seats?

They look pretty nice to me-try Caravaggio, hear they have some awesome ones, but at a hefty price.

Saw it last saturday and blew me and my dad away. I think he can outrun Dell. Looking at SC after warranty expires. For now, LT and wheels?

soooo many choices! Now, if my stocks don't drop, I could probably bump my budget up to 8k. Darn oil prices!
