What next?

Alright so Mods are in sig... I'm thinking of going true duals (Will I see a good gain?), cam it (cc503) or 3.90s?

You'll see the best gain with the cam, then I would do gears, and if money permits, true duals last.

I think I'd do the cam first too. That muflex 4" system will flow about the same as a dual 2.5" system.

Are there any kits for the 503, I already have 1.6 RR and factory hardened pushrods... I know I should replace the lifters, locks and springs (beehive).

How much would I be looking at for everything I have listed EXCEPT the cam itself?

Why not maybe an electric water pump, pro 5.0, mail order tune, or some suspensin? SFC LCA TA?
I would highly suggest getting a pro 5.0 and either chopping the stick 1.5" or getting a short stick. Huge improvement

idk, ive drove a m6 camaro w/ a pro 5.0 and didn't like it, so maybe he's in the same boat, or drives fine w/ the current shifter.

id go w/ maybe LCA, SFC, TA, cam, tune, drag radials and gears, tune again,

if you can, save up and do gears and cam at the same time so u only have to tune once

Would it be better to focus down onto suspension with Stiffer springs, Performance shocks, LCA's, and maybe bigger swaybars?

This is a summer DD but I love to have fun in her. I think she handles great already but compared to my previous car I think shocks and springs would help considerably..

Camshaft or suspension are both great ideas.. And we can give you a bit of a "package" price on everything if you want.. Shoot us a PM if your interested..

Thanks
