Id like to hear what you think my next purchase should be: LCA, 1 piece driveshaft, cams?

So far for mods, I have: LT headers, o/r x pipe, throttle body,cai, 4.10 gears, underdrive pulley. Before anyone says something, I dont want to get a supercharger or turbo, not yet anyways. :)

I take it to the track once a month but also am not as serious as some. I'm happy with a 12.8 but would like to know what might be the best "bang for the buck". Also, if I didn't add something that you think would be better,please feel free to chime in. Thanks. :thumb:

I'd start with tightening up the rear end. Artsperformance here has J&M lca's, $105 delivered. Then if you're not going to lower it a solid uca. I just did my rear, what a huge difference lca's, a uca and an adj panhard bar made with the springs. Car is nice and tight and no wheel hop.

as far as bang for the buck, at the track anyways, its a good DR. If you are on 4.10s and a street tire, I bet you could lower your et quite a bit with a good DR.

Well depending on what you do you have a broad price range. You could get the driveshaft and lcas for around the price of cams I believe. I think I seen a driveshaft for like 600 new. And then another 100 for control arms. Cams are what like 700, but you would prolly see the best gains as far as track times IF you hook up. Also you don't have a tune listed but I'm sure you have one if not that'd be where some money went to.

Yea dr's are going to make the biggest difference as far as traction goes. If you are getting bad wheel hop I would go with a set of solid lca's with an adjustable uca.

Mister roper has me sold! Im going with hookers and booze! lol

Im not sure about dr's just yet as I am not an every weekend warrior like alot here. Ive been debating on the ds for a while so I might take 08nastygt's advice and do that along with uca. powerhouse is right down the street and they have their own one piece so that would be where id be going.

Thanks everyone!
