how to spend extra $500-$800 bucks??

I came into a little unexpected money and i'm debating on what to with it.... here are my options:

-373 gears
-$350 worth of minor paint work+ $100 hockey stripes
-headers & y pipe
-complete my nitrous setup (already have bottle, purge, & selenoids)
-nittos/bfg's
-keep saving for cam setup
-upgrade clutch

I currently only have a lid and borla exhaust w/cutout

thanks for suggestions guys

Not just headers and a y-pipe, also include Hi-Flow catylitic convertor and a good flowing muffler like the hooker catback. That would get rid of the 800 quick and also open up the car for future mods.

I was going to suggest a cat-back also... But then I read that he has a Borla.


I bought used headers, ORY and a GMMG for $800 total.


I say used headers and 3.73s.

Cover the basics, headers and y-pipe.

I can get a new set of pace setter headers for 300, but i'd be just as satisfied with a used set. I already have a borla catback. I know a guy i that can get me 373s for 100 bucks.
