Which mod

Given what I already have, should I do a CC305 cam and tune the computer or a torque converter?
I could only do one or the other right now. What would be the right choice to do first?

If you have a lot of mileage on your motor, I would get the convertor otherwise it may be cheaper, instead of getting a vigalante converter (if thats the converter you are leaning towards) to get the cc305 cam and a tune from PCMforless tuning. Either one of these mods will make your car quicker.

Hope that helps,
Claude

I do have 110K miles on it. Although it's running strong and I keep it well maintained, would I be openning up to problems with a cam? Vigalante would be my choice of converters.

I would go with the converter, I have 136k on mine and I will need to do the motor soon so I am setting up the rest of the car now. Then do all the engine mods at once with a rebuild.

I was questioning the same thing. I chose to get the converter. Easier to install...great gains at the track. I'd also like to break into the 12's with only bolt-ons.
