$600

Got about $600 to spend on the car. Havent put any money into it in over a year. 69xxx miles full bolt on car. What should I do next? Spray? Maybe a cam? I'm at a lost, and yes I know my budget sucks.

Expand on what you already have a little more... Do you already have SFC's? ... if not get them.

Then I would get a PHB, LCA's, and SFC's and a B&M shifter.

Keep saving, a properly setup nitrous system will run you over a grand and doing a cam on that budget is pushing it as well.

You could buy a set of gears with 600. That includes install, or atleast where I live.

Do you have that sts kit in your sig? How many of the bolt ons do you have?
What are your goals- track times, sound, handling, etc?

Whatever you do, if you decide to buy something you should hit up the parts for sale page since your on a tight budget. They have some really awesome deals there. Just make sure to watch out for scams, theres not that many but they are there.

STS kit was sold. I got a killer deal on it and flipped it for almost 100% profit on ebay. I'm not new to the site/lt1s at all. I just kind of lost interest in the car since I got real busy with work/school and I bought my avalanche.
