I'll have about $300 to spend for me for Christmas. How should I spend it? MSD 6AL ignition kit, roller rockers, Chevelle headers? What would you guys do?

Tom · 12-04-2003, 04:04 PM

you already have headers and a ignition, and roller rockers dont do much, so I vote none of the above

**old Rusty C10** · 12-04-2003, 04:06 PM

i have a whole bunch of parts listed in the parts thread you could buy me out!!

cochino12 · 12-04-2003, 05:05 PM

how is your interior? maybe save it for bags like I'm trying to do.

gldevall · 12-04-2003, 05:10 PM

bags-no not on this one. I want this one to go fast not low.

Tom · 12-04-2003, 07:30 PM

You want fast? Then use that money to either save up for new heads or to buy used heads.

Amen to that comment gary. Why not save it for a little longer, and pick up a Nitrous kit

Caltrac Bars. So you won't leave any more tire smoke.

How about a nice 4 link??? Gotta plant that power dont you???

gldevall · 12-04-2003, 11:24 PM

Actually I don't have a traction problem. It leaves pretty good on radials. I do have some 15x10 wheels that I need some ET street for. Might go ahead and get those.

Tom, the heads I want are $1600. It is a kit that Summit sells, heads, roller cam, lifters etc. claims 450HP. But I am not one to save money.

Ok, how about a front-end rebuild kit or finish my gauges?

79BIG10 · 12-05-2003, 07:57 PM

Gauges!!! This is my next purchase. I was thinking front end but the wife mentioned that I bet the gauges would be better since the ones I have are crappy

If you don't already have the PST Front Kit, I highly recommend it.
