So the wife is letting me use 2500 to upgrade car so hmm thinking a 1 piece ds and maybe do the race cam swap? Or should I just go strictly suspension mods I do want the car faster I know getting a better hook will do the trick as well but I get in a few hwy races to. I know you guys have spent money as well just looking for some feed back on what I should do. Thanks for your help time to bust out the debit card lol

Mods is just steeda cai. Full exhaust but stock headers still I don't see much improvement in those just sound, and of course 93 race tune, suspension all I have done is 50/50 drag shocks. Car runs 12.20 at best avg 12.3 some 12.4s running 3.73 gears and 26 x 10 x 15 slicks I just really wanna break 11.80 11.90 I'm only launching at 4200 I just don't wanna break the the ds since it is my daily driver I hope this helps out some thanks again.

What is the car? What mods are done right now? What's the ultimate goal for the car? What does the car run right now?

Go to the titty bar and have FUN!

Honestly...if you can chillax spending that money until Black Friday, you'd shit at how many more goodies you can get with that much money. Everyone puts on a sale.

Vendors? Sorry if I'm stepping on your toes. Just trying to help chappy get the most bang for his buck.

Oh I'm Def goin to wait also have to wait for my bonus to come first but said I could use half to make the car faster or whatever I want so hell yea Ima mod it more. Also my 12.20 run was 94 degrees out not sure how much it effects the times but I know in winter she feels quite faster. Thanks again for input guys I'll keep my options open.

1. Establish your goals for the car.
2. Evaluate the current status of the car and determine what exactly you need in order to reach your goals. Write it down.
3. Prioritize your list and arrange it in the order you would like to reach your goals.
4. Shop the hell out of your list, refining your choices by specific brands and models, etc.
5. Always be ready to jump on a deal when it comes along, even if it isn't the top item on your list. I've scored some bargains here because I already knew what I wanted and was able to jump on a deal when it appeared.

How about long tubes and bigger injectors to run e85 with? I'd think those improvements would help with your goal and leave money for the next thing.

Have the drive shafts been breaking on the 5.0?

I'm big on suspension and tires. You already have the tires, so that leans me toward suspension. I have a UPR customer who runs 10.90s with the stock long block, UPR suspension and sticky tires. He cuts 1.50 short times.

He has your mods, plus UPR suspension, and a CJ intake & TB also. His is an auto car, but if you can hammer the gears, you should be right there. His tune is a fairly aggressive E85 tune.
