Default have finally made the decision..upgrades

I have fought with what I want, what I need, what I can afford.. Talk about a battle with myself!
I have come to the conclusion that I'm too old school, and want the following.
4.10 gears for the torque, and a whiplash cam to livin the car up. I NEED the cam.. I have spoken with Jason and EG about the steps I want to take and around the way I drive, and they agreed. Wed,. the car goes in, and Jason with Gulf Coast Performance will do the deed.
I hope that the smile on my face wont come off for at least 6 mos., then the headers and crossover, intake go in.
The thing that really sold me on Jason, was that he was looking out for me, the cost and when to do what upgrades that would benefit me and my family wallet. Thats what a true Corvette tuner should be like...return business, and not being afraid to tell a customer there is a better way.
