What to do with $7900

I just got some extra financial aid money in...around $7900

If I were to use all the money on my car, what should I get aside from what I already have in my sig? Keep in mind, this car is still my daily driver so I'd like to stay away from stroking...for now...

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I'd get a cam and some heads and invest anything that was left over.

My vote is heads&cam, plus any extra goodies that you come across and like. Or use the rest for non car stuff.

heads/cam package.......... about $2000 for all parts needed

good suspension package.......$750 ish

clutch.......................$500

save the rest for labor, dyno tuning, and miscellaneous parts you will need............or you can add a 12bolt if you wanna run slicks

Technically buying a house and diverting an extra few G's into having an "extra nice garage" isn't really "not" spending it for your car either Course thats coming from me, single living on his own working full time part time starving student with a Z28
