If you had $1,500 to spend on a stock 350 IROC, how would you spend it? I just bought one and I have some extra money set aside to play with. Where should I start?

 

depends on what you want to do. If you want to deck it out to race, Headers, & Muffler along with a new cam.

If you want to show it off for show then chrome or Polished almumim.

if you want to use the car for a daily driver. then its what ever you need to make sure the car is Reliable

 

converter,gears,exhaust.Thats 1500 if yo can't install yourself.

 

exhaust for sure, a shift kit would be nice. What gears do the stock iroc's have? (mine came with aftermarket). I would definitly throw in a full tune up which will only cost you about a hundred bucks but still go about replacing all the fluids, greasing up anything thats greasable (most of your steering components, possibly your u joints). What condition are the tires in? Performance wise that could be a great investment if theyre getting kind of bald.

 

Subframe connectors $250 installed
FULL tune-up and fluid refresh roughly $150-200
Shorty headers and full exhaust about $600
Front end rebuild with Moog parts and poly bushings $400

That's most of your budget. Save the rest for tires.

 

how in the heck did i forget sub frames?!?!? good call

 

Everybody forgets SFCs. I forgot them for the first 5 years I had my car (then again, I didn't know what they were for the first 4.....)

 

$1500???? buy a beater so when the car is being worked on, you dont have to rush it.

I guess I am fortunate that my 3rd gen IS my beater.
