Question What mod to do next?

I have all of the mods in my sig. I was wondering where to go next. Im considering many options. Im not looking at heads though. This is a street car, that might be on the track once or twice a season.Ive heard that a throttle body wont really help me too much. Forced induction is too pricy right now. Not looking to do igniton right now either. I really cant afford anything right now, Id just like to have a few ideas. Maybe something to set a goal for. I was considering the following.......Any other suggestions would be helpful.
-12 Bolt w/ 4.10's or 4.56's
-SPEC 3 Clutch (but mine isnt slipping)
-Nitrous kit w/ purge kit
-Various suspension parts?
-Apperarance mods?

Anything you can think of would be considered. Thanks again!

P.S. No smart *** suggestions, Eli.....

Sub frame connecters
LCAs
LCA relocators
Torque arm

Use what power you have then go for more.

I'd go with suspension, you can't go wrong when you improve handling.

i 3rd that....

if nothing else, lca and brackets and some light tubular sfc

how do you like your shifter? maybe look around for a factory hurst from an SS or WS6 or buy an aftermarket unit. i say go for the hurst since you have a short stick and it will fit that unit.

Re: What mod to do next?

How did you install a sniper? I want one of those in my car!
ok.. now... Why wouldnt you want heads?! with that cam, you are prolly loping pretty good. May as well get the benefit and add some flow and do a killer set of heads. If your clutch isnt slipping yet, then a new one shouldnt be on the list till its time. The gears and rearend are fine but I really think that a car thats not bottle fed and can run 10's/11's is more admirable.

perhaps some more traction mods? Torque arm? Things like that could help and wouldnt cost too much. But I still say HEADS.

So, heads are out of the question, but you'd consider a blower if it were a better value? that's back asswards if you ask me. lol

Re: What mod to do next?

I agree with the suspension, subframes and LCA's are great on these cars. From there a torque arm w/ loop from BMR or somebody of the like.

Then I would do a camshaft. It adds a genuine 25-40rwhp depending on the size cam you use, and is power you can truly feel for not too much money. I would certain consider head and cam before a 12 bolt, especially for a street car. That is just my opinion though, good luck either way.
